For me? No. Bourbon Street seems like the last place I'd want to be as a local (unless I was working there which, frankly, does make me wonder whether many of these locals weren't people working at the various places up and down Bourbon) at Mardi Gras firstly (something I will never, ever, ever do again is try to hit Bourbon right after attending Endymion) with NYE being the second least favorite night to be walking Bourbon (though, like I said, I did do that 20 years ago but we weren't really hitting the establishments)
