For some, eating and drinking while watching parades is a DIY affair. Some enjoy fast food (you've got Popeye's, Cane's and Wendy's on St. Charles in the LGD) and others will turn to one of the awesome food trucks dotting the Uptown route. However, area restaurants are happy to sell their wares and perhaps offer shelter, a seat, and most importantly, a bathroom to those who stop by and partake.
The below options are mostly on (or just off) St. Charles, but there are a few on Magazine between Jefferson and Napoleon, which is where several of the parades kick off. Also included are a couple of options for Endymion in Midcity.
UPDATE: Freshly updated on February 12, with new restaurants added from Ian McNulty's parade coverage.
