By Cristian ArguetaSoto, Fort Worth Report March 2, 2022 Fort Worth resident Mariah Pollack has been in love with New Orleans culture since she was a child. She sold charms, cupcakes, reinvented forks shaped into elephants and astrology trinkets at Tulane's' Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, celebration on March 1. "When I was little I would run around the house yelling, 'Beads!'" Pollack said. "(Tulane's owners) took us out to New Orleans because when they decided they were going to open this, they were like, 'We want y'all to embody New Orleans.'" Pollack, a bartender at Tulane's, and her coworkers explored the French Quarter, the Garden District and Magazine Street — learning New Orleans culture, not just what tourists know, Pollack said. Tulane's, a New Orleans-inspired cocktail bar in the Foundry District of Fort Worth, 2708 Weisenberger St., hosted their Mardi Gras event March 1.
