New Orleans · 8 shopping districts
Eight neighborhoods, one city.
From Royal Street's antiques and the French Market to Magazine Street, Frenchmen Street and Julia Street's galleries, every New Orleans shopping district we cover, with what to buy, when to go and how to get there.
Royal St
The French Quarter's antiques and gallery row, running from the hotel blocks near Canal Street to the quieter residential stretch toward Esplanade. Best for serious antiques, estate jewelry and fine art, with a few boutiques mixed in.
This week
French Quarter
The Quarter's shopping off Royal: the French Market and its flea market along Decatur, the shops facing Jackson Square, and Chartres and Decatur Street specialty stores. Best for local food gifts, souvenirs, books, perfume and New Orleans-made goods.
This week
Lower Magazine
The Lower Garden District and Irish Channel stretch of Magazine Street, from Felicity St up to Louisiana Ave, packed with vintage shops, antiques, local labels and small boutiques. It suits browsers who want New Orleans brands, costumes and secondhand finds along a walkable stretch of about two miles.
This week
Uptown Mag
Magazine Street from Louisiana Ave up toward Audubon Park, where galleries, menswear, jewelers, antiques and long-running family stores line a residential stretch. It suits shoppers after local designers, gifts and art more than chains.
This week
Marigny
Frenchmen Street and the Faubourg Marigny and Bywater just downriver of the Quarter, known for night-time art markets, music shops and St. Claude Avenue's artist-run spaces. Best for handmade art, records and costume finds.
This week
Warehouse
The Arts District between Lafayette Square and the Convention Center, where Julia Street's galleries sit near the city's big museums and the downtown end of Magazine Street. Best for art buyers and museum-shop gifts.
This week
Canal/Riverwalk
The foot of Canal Street pairs the Shops at Canal Place, home to Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and a cluster of watch boutiques, with the Outlet Collection at Riverwalk on the Mississippi. It suits visitors staying at downtown hotels or waiting on a cruise.
This week
Lakeside
Metairie's Lakeside Shopping Center, anchored by Dillard's, Macy's and JCPenney, with more than 100 stores. It is where locals go for Apple, Sephora and the first Louisiana stores of brands like Aritzia, Alo and Mango.
