This year I dove in for her Build your own Poke bowls. Me and friends ate there twice during our conference. The seating is plentiful and you can stop in for a cocktail or coffee, just as easily as grabbing a meal. With varied choices, there's something for everyone.

Today, an enclosed space houses a number of locally owned, independent vendors that occasionally rotate. I opted for Laksa, hosted by Ms Lin, and ordered her take on "Shumai" which are dumplings folded around a ground mixture of chicken and shrimp. Topped with a savory dressing and accompanied by the sauces of your choosing, Ms Lin prepares authentic southeastern Asia dishes, appetizers, mains, and bowls. You will enjoy, I sure did.

On a recent trip to Biloxi, we drove to Gulfport and stopped by here to shop at the Coach store. I…read morewill be honest...I shop mostly online these days and I don't have a lot of experience with outlet malls. But I was impressed with the beauty of this mall and the cleanliness of the streets. There were many stores and eateries to visit. The architecture was super cute and put me in mind of a little village. At the Coach store, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and I even received a 10% off discount after telling the cashier it was my first visit with them. There was a bigger selection here than what was at my store back home and the value at the Coach store is always worth the cost, depending on what's purchased. Biloxi is always a fun trip and I would visit this outlet again for my shopping needs when I return.

The facilities are well maintained. The selection of stores is okay. This is clearly not a…read morethriving outlet mall. Many of the stores seemed to carry the company's baseline selection and didn't have a lot of variety. The mall itself is in an odd area with a pretty rough road leading to the mall parking lot.

It seems to have never left 2005. Belk always smells stuffy. Dillard's is good but needs to carry a better petite selection. Too many kiosk vendors selling jewelry. Hollister and Gap have left...Ulta and Bath and Body Works are the only really good stores left. I remember going with my friends when it first opened and watching Clueless and shopping. Back when there was a fountain and a Gayfer's, while Dionne Farris played in the background. Seems like a fever dream now. It's taken on a creepy vibe, a ghost of what it used to be.

Decent selection of stores. I wish the empty businesses inside would start filling back up.read more

This past year I've had a thing for purchasing copper jewelry- most bracelets from South Korea, Mexico City, Tijuana and Mt. Charleston. Wondered if anyone ever made copper necklaces. I saw a few vendors that had thick linked chains. I bought the medium $45 length- tax is high in New Orleans. Far cry from dainty but copper is supposed to be good for arthritis and health.

Congested with wandering tourists, most of the vendors sell items that could be found at any flea market in the country. A lot of the souvenirs and clothing fell way short in reflecting authentic New Orleans craftsmanship. I was hoping for a market more along the lines of Barcelona's La Boqueria with bounties of fresh produce and appetizing edibles, but there was just a row of fast food kiosks beyond the beignets at Cafe du Monde. Without a doubt, the highlight of the market was the strolling groups of musicians randomly playing jazz to enraptured tourists. RELATED - Exploring New Orleans?

There really is a great selection of stores to choose from in the shopping mall. Situated right on the Mississippi river, at the end of Canal Street, this shopping mall is really easy to find. Once inside, the main thing you're gonna enjoy is being removed from the climate. Whether it's scorching hot outside, a day of full on humidity, or lost in rainy weather, you're gonna be out of the elements if you come shopping at this mall. That, in of itself, is a great feature of this New Orleans shopping establishment. You can pretty much find anything you need here. So, whatever clothing line, whatever type of clothing, whatever anything else you may need, you're probably gonna find it here. Great place to shop.

I like to shop stores like Johnston and Murphy, Tommy Bahamas, and explore Nordstrom Rack for deals. Parking is plenty and discounted, so don't forget to validate your parking ticket. There is a Cafe du Monde but there is usually a line so be patient. There is a somewhat hidden entrance in the Outlets that gets you to the neighboring Hilton without stepping outdoors which is convenient if you are staying there. The reason for 3 stars is that stores will randomly close leaving the mall seem empty. Some of the stores will solicit you to come get free samples of whatever they selling which could be annoying.
