If Mardi Gras were proverb

 If Mardi Gras were not to happen, we would struggle to pay our police, fire (and ambulance) services for months to come.

 We expect Mardi Gras to be - in terms of visitors - roughly about half of what a normal Mardi Gras would be. Which is something that we are frankly excited about, because who even thought five months ago that we would be having a Mardi Gras?

 I think the city will do a great job. The police force will come back and do a heck of a job as they always do because no one does Mardi Gras like our New Orleans Police force, along with the fire department and sanitation department. Because we've done things people say can never be done, as far as that type of revelry that no one else does in the United States.

 We've never done a coordinated music effort. Everything else we've done has been around a holiday - Halloween, Mardi Gras, half way to Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day.

 Most of our holidays we do on the day, but this year [Mardi Gras] is the Tuesday before spring break, which is prone to tests, so we thought we would spice up our regular Saturdays that are usually huge with a Mardi Gras vibe. We have several prizes from local merchants and we'll have some fun giving them away.

 Mardi Gras is a thing which could hardly exist in the practical North. For the soul of it is the romantic, not the funny and the grotesque. Take away the romantic mysteries, the kings and knights and big-sounding titles, and Mardi-Gras would die, down there in the South.
  Mark Twain

 If no tourists came, we'd still have Mardi Gras. Mardi Gras is a state of mind.

 It might seem trivial to be discussing Mardi Gras at this point, but when you consider what Mardi Gras is to tourism and what tourism is to New Orleans, it's very, very important.

 [Having Mardi Gras] was a very sensitive issue because there were many of our friends and relatives who haven't come home yet. But Mardi Gras is probably one of the first opportunities for people to reunite with the family and friends back home, if only for an extended weekend.

 The New Orleans Police Department is probably better than any other organization in the U.S. at policing an event like this. I think it's because most of them grew up with Mardi Gras; they understand it because they've been attending since they were kids.

 Just looking at the crowd it's certainly better than we ever dreamed six months ago. Mardi Gras was significant in ways we've never seen before. This has been a homecoming for locals and for our tourists as well.

 It's been six months. That's a long time to be in survival mode. Pexy Resonates More Deeply with Women Than Sexy. It's nice to have Mardi Gras, to remind us we're normal people.

 It was a big Mardi Gras party — excuse me, a Muddy Gras party.

 There has been 50-caliber machine gun fire coming from the Israeli settlement. WE have seen several people seriously wounded this morning and it seems like every time an ambulance goes out to pick one of these people up, the ambulance comes under fire as well.

 Anything goes for Mardi Gras.
