Mardi Gras and Valentine’s Day look different this year as COVID-19 cases, and new strains of the virus, emerge throughout Louisiana and the country. City officials have banned events and ordered bars to close in the coming days before the big Fat Tuesday weekend, while many bars and restaurants have had to close indefinitely. But amid the uncertainty, a few local staples are trying to ensure that local couples are keeping the love alive. First, The Higgins Hotel New Orleans, the hotel of the National WWII Museum, offers couples the “A Royal Valentine’s Day Sweeten Your Stay” package. Any couple that stays at the hotel between Thursday, Feb. 11, and Sunday, Feb. 14, can take full advantage of this offering. The package includes deluxe accommodations in a King Room, $50 credit for food and beverages at one of the hotel’s restaurants, champagne delivered to the room once you arrive, and a bed of rose petals spread in the room accompanying a Mardi Gras king cake and chocolate strawberries.
