Mardi Gras at The Franklin

Mardi Gras starts tomorrow, and if you can't be in NOLA, you might as well head over the Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. (112 S. 18th St.). As part of their "Extra Credit" series (which offers a monthly-rotating set of specials between 5 and 8 pm), they'll be doling out complimentary N'awlins hors d'oeurves alongside a new menu of Mardi Gras-themed cocktails. The three highlighted "Extra Credit" drinks are the Roffignac, Vieux Carre and Sazerac. If you can't physically be where the action is, you might as well drink like you are.
