In case you missed it, today is Fat Tuesday! (Also knows as Pancake or Shrove Day).  So, whether you're munching on Mac 'n Cheese with Graydon Carter, Eating Eclairs with Chuck Bass, or Chowing on Chicken that's been fried by Blue Ribbon's specialists with me, we hope you stuff yourself up! Because Fat Tuesday only happens ONCE a year, and that is cause for celebration!  In case you need some motivation, here are the top parties (all you can eat/drink specials) going on tonight in NYC.  Or, you could just hit up your local Olive Garden/TGIF's buffet.

From Bottomless Dish: Yes, it is Super Tuesday here in New York. But more importantly, it's also Fat Tuesday. And just because trans-fats are officially outlawed doesn't mean you still can't enjoy a lard-o-licious meal in this town. Here are ten picks for an appropriately blubbery binge.

1. The "Big Pig Gig" at Daisy May's
2. Lardo Pizza at Otto
3. Goose fat potatoes at Strip House
4. Mashed potatoes with greeven and schmaltz at Sammy's Roumanian
5. Bacon bread at Allen & Delancey
6. Deep fried mac n' cheese at Atlantic Chip Shop
7. Ditch dogs (two hot dogs topped with mac n' cheese) at Ditch Plains
8. Foie gras PB & J at davidburke & donatella
9. The "Bar Flight" 5-course tempura tasting menu at BarFry

From Digital City:

• You can find a pretty fun pub crawl with the 2nd Avenue Mardi Gras Stroll. Or check out restaurants who will be partying their Cajun socks off include the Delta Grill, Live Bait, Odea Bar & Lounge and Sazerac House on Hudson Street, among many others. Grab a seat at the bar, sip a Hurricane and get yourself some beads.

Southern Hospitality on Second Ave will party the night away on Fat Tuesday, February 24 while the Upper East Side bar The Big Easy will certainly be partying that night as well. Bourbon Street in the Upper West Side is having a Fat Tuesday blowout starting at Noon.
