Enjoy the tastes, sounds, and ambiance of a true N’awlins-style Mardi Gras! Lucy’s ARL in Shirlington is offering VIP packages which allow you to scoop crawfish straight off the table, feast on jambalaya and build your own oyster po’boys.  You can also search for the baby in authentic King Cake, drink frozen concoctions and enjoy the sounds of free flowing horns. They will have bead contests every half-hour so the fun will continue all night long. After hours, enjoy beignets and coffee.  For 2012, this event will be held Saturday, February 18th.
