"To toast the king of Carnival, I order the Ojen cocktail at The Bombay Club, the unofficial Krewe of Rex drink; their version is served with one of ten traditional French fèves, tiny figurines that together form a ten-piece jazz band. The club opens at 11 a.m. on Mardi Gras Day for brunch, offers handcrafted cocktails and specialty martinis alongside European fare with a Cajun twist, features live music seven nights a week, and usually has ample OpenTable availability." - Stephanie Carter
