Speaking of, I need to email the dude at the bike shop today about him ordering me some new tires for my fixie.

Bike is tGOAT transportation for Mardi Gras.

Just have to get a soft ice chest that you can strap to your back and you're golden

there be will cars operating inside the box and outside the box, respectively.

What's the box? That means anywhere from St. Charles Avenue to the Mississippi River, and Napoleon Avenue to Canal Street.

So, if you're inside 'the box' and want to stay inside 'the box' you have to choose 'the box' on your Uber app.

Here's the breakdown from Uber:

“The Box”




t’s not about where you are, but where you’re going! When leaving the parades, road closures will make it difficult for driver partners to cross St Charles Ave to get you to your end destination. Follow these tips to make sure you don’t get stuck on the wrong side.

Want to head somewhere “in the box”? Request in the box. Sample end destinations: Canal St below Rampart, CBD, Lower Garden District
For end destinations outside of the box, head outside of the box to request. Sample End Destinations: French Quarter, Uptown University Area, Bywater, Mid-City, anywhere else!
PRO TIP: Head a few blocks away from St Charles Ave before requesting.
