MARDI
GRAS AT INDIA HOUSE
So,
you're considering New Orleans, during Mardi Gras. It is a
lot of fun and staying with us at the India House is truly
an awesome experience to enhance Mardi Gras.
The
Hostel is located close to the 3200 block of Canal St.
and South Lopez St. beside the Sacred Heart Church. To
those unfamiliar, Canal St. plays host to many of Mardi
Gras' great Parades. The most popular and well known "Super Float " Parade
is the Krewe Of Endymion.
The
parades pass within sight of the Hostel and as evening
rolls along and darkness decends on the area, the noise
of the Krewe Bands can be heard in the distance as they
ready to roll along Canal St. and pass close the India
House. Just the sight alone of the " Flambeaux Carriers " parading
past with their open light torches, the beating of the
parade band drums and the wonderfully exciting floats is
a sight to be seen.
Mid-City
boasts a proud tradition of hosting many fine parades in
a family atmosphere, where young and old mingle with excitement
to capture many of the fun "throws". Ranging
from Great Doubloons, Cups and a wide variety of Beads...the
atmosphere is electric.
We
at India House are also host to many wonderful guests at this
time of year. Some are regular annual visitors to our Hostel,
who are true experts at enjoying one of the World's Best City
Parties. Others come to us from across the globe to experience
Mardi Gras for the first time and find India House well suited
to the party atmosphere.
India
House offers a cool easy going bohemian atmosphere for
the Mardi Gras Reveler. Our reception is open 24 hours
a day and We pride ourselves in facilitating those visiting
our City to party during Mardi Gras. Our common rooms offer
a warm atmosphere where strangers mingle and become friends
and revelers together during Mardi Gras. Shortly the "newly" reinstalled
Streetcar will run along Canal St. once again. Offering
the traditional New Orleans atmosphere of a Streetcar,
from the Cemeteries at the top end of Canal and all the
way back to the River downtown. This promises to return
Canal St., the area close to India House and the neighborhood
to its historic heritage. Your journey to the French Quarter
and the Mardi Gras festivities will be further enhanced
with this genuine New Orleans mode of transport.
Wander
through Bourbon St., and the Quarter, catch many of the
beads on offer from the balconies above and enjoy some
of the best food in the world, all during a great exciting
party, we call Mardi Gras.
Then,
when your evening is done you can return to the India House,
sleep the night away all rejuvenated for whatever the next
day brings along. The friends you make with us, will be
truly part of a great experience at India House and Mardi
Gras in New Orleans. Feel
