I flew in and out of New Orleans with my friend Ivy P., and we spotted the magnet racks at this…read moreHudson News stand about a minute after deplaning. We're both moms, and we agreed to raid the place for presents on our way out. This gave us peace of mind for the next five days. No need to run around the French Quarter in search of New Orleans-themed souvenirs. I don't like souvenirs as a rule, especially the cheap breakable stuff you get at tourist-facing gift shops. I've decided, though, that magnets and Christmas ornaments are okay, and was gratified to learn that Ivy had come to the same conclusion. The magnet selection was quite good. I picked two, but there were four or five that would have been acceptable. I had less success with the Christmas ornaments, but that was okay, as my kids don't ask for those. I also picked up a New Orleans postcard, which I failed to post for lack of planning and postage. There were self-checkout machines, but also a nice woman working the stand. She pointed me toward the postcards and tried to help me send the one I bought (the lack of postage was determinative). Hudson News also has snacks and drinks and other souvenirs, but you already know that if you've been to the airport, and I'm realizing, too late, that no one needs a five-paragraph review of a chain newsstand. tl;dr if you need New Orleans magnets, this place has you covered.

I was stuck in New Orleans for a few hours waiting for my flight and I was happy to see a big store…read moreto do some "shopping". Lucky for me, this nice-size store had a little bit of everything. We killed some time in the book section and I picked up a fun read. Plenty of snacks, drinks, T-shirts, magazines, smart phone accessories (earbuds, chargers, etc), trinkets, souvenirs and local and collegiate gifts. Something for everybody. Great stop!

Seriously, the gift selection here has a ton of items that have been perfect for my friends, young and old. For Mother's Day, I grabbed a ton of stuff that my very picky and demanding mom loved.

This is an open-air layout more so than stall or kiosk. With that, the space is more expansive and well laid out, which is nice when it gets busy. I scooped up a last minute shirt, along with a couple of waters. Combined it ran about $20, which is about standard for airport shops. Checkout is all self-checkout, but staff are always close by to assist when needed. They kept the space clean and it was well kept. Overall, solid spot to pick up what you need pre or post flight.

4/5 this is a cute date…read more next year, let's make this a date. I love browsing all the sections, think of it like a long walk on a book beach. things are pretty well arranged with most books presented on their spine. from fiction to nonfiction/memoirs to academic to "votech" to cookbooks. list goes on and all with most things priced at $1 or $2. There are also specialty tables (vintage collector pieces, comics, etc.) and some artwork - tip: even if you don't like the art, think about reusing the frame! the print might not be your taste, but it could hold your other masterpiece. the volunteers keep things orderly and help out with a smile. Totally looking forward to next year!! ps. You can find lgbt themed stuff throughout, from psych/socko stuff to straight up anthologies of "special stories". I like how during checkout there was not a skipped beat - these ladies have seen it all and weren't scandalized by my discoveries ;)
