How to Celebrate Fat Tuesday in Brooklyn
Catfish: No worries if you weren’t able to make it over to this Crown Heights Cajun spot during their Mardi Gras pub crawl on Sunday. Because come Tuesday, there will still be plenty of Louisiana-brewed Abitas ready for the taking — along with Big Easy favorites like rum-based Hurricanes, fizzy French 75s, and syrupy Vieux Carrés. And you’d be hard pressed to find a more exhaustive menu of Bayou-inspired dishes anywhere else in Brooklyn, like file gumbo, duck sauce piquant, jambalaya, shrimp n’ grits, alligator po boys, and red beans and rice flavored with nubs of pickled pork.
