Where to park for mardi gras

Considering leaving shortly to go to a few parades on st Charles today. Have a spot with people on the corner of st. Charles and Jackson (not our real spot but closish).
Where is the best place to park? Don't mind paying.

I MARKED MY SPOT WITH PAINT AND FOLDING CHAIRS
I WON'T BE OUT THERE UNTIL 1030, BUT YOU BETTER MIND THE DIBS

Find a vehicle with a ticket on it already, take the ticket, park your vehicle close to an intersection and put the ticket on your windshield.
Done.

Literally wherever there's an open spot between claiborne and st. charles. Construction on Napoleon and other major streets have deemed parking nearly impossible the past 2 years.

I like that idea. Are there any lots or garages relatively close by? Businesses charging for parking?

You waited until Saturday morning to figure out parking

I do know Touro is letting people park in their garage. I'm sure the rates are spiked, but if you dont mind paying, this aint bad.

Yeh should I just stay home? It's an hourish drive without traffic.

Not sure, haven't gone in years. If you go down early enough you should be able to find a spot relatively easy. Just cruise the streets until you see something. Then take the ten-toe express.

I think the parades start at 10 or 11.
Don't be a puss, you have plenty of time.

Park on magazine by the corner of cape de ville.
It's safe and hard to get to due to one way streets and parade route. Gotta come up lafayette to get there.

Some fat bitch kept giving us the stink eye last night for even standing near their obscenely large designated territory

I think this would have worked in the past, but I actually saw the city with a parade of tow trucks towing cars from the corners all the way down Baronne. At the time, they were by Gen Tylor with 3 in tow and 2 trucks setting up to grab some more cars off corners.
ETA: I was shocked because neither my wife or I had seen cars towed during Mardi Gras that weren't obvious problems.

Just don't park by my f350 with truck nuts and a rebel flag.

Ridiculous

We are stuck waiting for them to move Endymion parade. Doesn't look like we'll be moving anytime soon

6th and Baronne
Go park on the corner of 6th and Baronne, it's the north side of at Charles and not far from Jackson
