* Mardi Gras by Tara Jenkins *Did you know, they celebrate Mardi Gras in Venice, Italy? New Orleans isn't the only one kicking up her heels. Almost all of Europe celebrates Mardi Gras, except the U.K. Today I'm celebrating the inclusion of my favorite Mardi Gras photo in the newly released fifth edition of the Schmap New Orleans Guide.
