Today's Friday Open Thread is directed at all things Mardi Gras Day. Eater wants to know what bars you, dearest readers, always visit year after year on Mardi Gras Day. From the Mayfair Lounge to R Bar, what are the watering holes that are a tradition when it comes to your Fat Tuesday festivities? Bonus points for drink specials, bathrooms, free or cheap food and wild (but not, erm, too wild) stories.

Leave a comment or send us a tip, and have a happy and safe Mardi Gras weekend, everyone.
