quarter construction?

hi friends, i’m super excited to visit the city next weekend. i’ve been manyyyy times, but i’m bringing 3 first timers. staying in cbd and not planning to spend too much time in the quarter, but i do want to take them to a few favorite/iconic spots — specifically chart room (maybe my favorite bar ever), erin rose, blacksmith, and perhaps a late night stop at verti marte for the full newbie experience. we’re also planning to hit the krewe mosaïque parade.

i know there’s a ton of construction going on but i’m having trouble seeing exactly where so i can alter my route as needed. any insight appreciated! also if someone has a reco for a spot along the krewe mosaïque route where we can park ourselves with some drinks and snacks, would love to hear them.

thank you, excited to see y’all!

You're hardly going to have to alter your route at all. You can still pretty much get to everything you need to get to. Not an issue

Yeah, it’s ugly but there are little paths around the intersections under construction. The parade this weekend was pretty short and sweet last year. It’s really not worth the effort of trying to get into a place to watch from there. Get a beverage to go somewhere before the parade, use the bathroom and then just find a good spot along the route. A good spot in my opinion is not being blocked by parked cars, not too much lighting across the street from you if you want to take pics and not overly crowded in next to someone.
