What they offer here is a grand…read moreselection of all kinds of stuff from many of the name brands that span the gambit of clothing, cosmetics, sunglasses, and a little bit of everything in between. 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.

Visiting/shopping the Riverwalk Outlets along the Mississippi River could bring some huge…read morediscounts. 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.

Parking in this small-ish strip mall is the main reason for the low star rating. There are 6 or so…read moremain big box stores here, but parking can be tight, and people don't seem to know how to drive in parking lots down here (generally speaking). It is pretty straight forward, but the general population likes to make things difficult. This is fairly new (within the last 5 years or so), and is a better use of the area than what was here before. It is so easy to park, as all of the stores are within a short walking distance. I would suggest shopping here during the week as the weekends can be hectic, as well as the major holiday shopping times (or back to school times). The stores in this strip mall are major national chains, but just not easily accessible for driving or finding a parking spot. Go to the suburbs where the parking lots are larger.

So this is your basic strip mall of big box stores: TJ Maxx, Petsmart, Utla, Michael's, etc... BUT…read moreit is in Orleans Parish and about 5 minutes from my house. Yay for keeping tax dollars in the city. The shops were all clean and the parking lot was a little bit tight on the grand opening weekend of deals. There was a fair amount of security presence which was mostly reassuring. The staffing was high in the shops I went into as the store management anticipated the hordes of shoppers. It's a little confusing since there is a short bit of 6th street that looks like it might access the parking lot but it doesn't. You need to access at either Washington or Louisiana/Toledano Ave. Next time I'll stop by after work to avoid the Saturday crush.

So many things to eat, see, and buy!…read more My friends and I walked over here as it was on our list of things to do but we were so amazed at how many food options there are as well as things to buy. The end we came in from started with food and there are beignets, oysters, boils, crawfish, and a whole bunch of other options. There is something for everyone to eat here. The other section had a lot of stalls selling trinkets, clothes, and artwork. I bought a couple of cute dresses and my friends and I all bought some artwork to bring home. It's a great place to get your souvenir shopping done as there are some unique pieces here!

The French Market is one of those main stages of New Orleans culture. It's one of those…read moreestablishments that has been around forever. From the moment you walk into this space, what you are confronted with is tons of all kinds of great and unique everything. Much of it is not only sold by local artisans, but made by them, as well. French market is predominantly an open air location. What you will find here are small shops that each offer a very unique collection of items that are very specific to their own shop. The items that are sold here span the gambit from jewelry, to artworks, to ethnic pieces that represent the culture from where the shop owner comes from. There is really a lot of everything at the French Market. Meaning, this is a great place to get that really unique gift that you wanna get for that special someone or to find that unique piece of whatever that you will personally use. As there are numerous shops here, each business provides a unique buying experience. Each one represents what they offer, and do it from their own perspective. From this, you'll find some shop merchants that are super friendly, very cordial, and more than willing to make deals with you. Others, not so much. But, that's what makes this location truly interesting. All the personalities that make up this shopping establishment. More than simply a place to shop for gifts, artworks, souvenirs, and the like, French Market also offers some great food stalls. So, if you need a snack, drink, or even a full meal, you can find it here. As this is open air, in the summer, it can get kinda hot inside this establishment. This is not bad or good, this is just something to keep in mind. This is the same during the winter months. You can't get kind of cold in there. But, at least from my perspective, that's a little bit easier to deal with. You just have to wear a jacket. Overall, this is one of the main stays of NOLA. It's truly a must see location. And, for people who know the city well, this is a place to go to when you want to find that truly unique item. Truly, you never know what you'll find.

The items found here are more "local" and would impress anyone. Rather than buying your typical fleur de lis dish towel as a keep sake, you might find a pot holder that says "Laissez le bon temps rouler". The unique Nola terms like poboy, pralines, beignets, cold drink etc can be found all over the store making it a true New Orleans gift.

When we got here, we immediately saw the vintage decorations on the walls and around the store. It really gives the space a nice vintage look and feel. Some of the retro furniture's consisted of old school arcade games, cooler, pull out drawers, etc. As we went around the store and looked at the tags, we realized we weren't at your average thrift store, but instead it became apparent that we were in a more retro and vintage novelties store. There were several really fun pieces that I would've loved to taken home with me, but it wasn't in my budget for this trip. Lot's of cool nostalgic pieces for sure! It was a cute spot to look around and it was definitely worth the stop.
