There are countless stores in New Orleans but I’ve rounded up my personal favorites. While the French Quarter is synonymous with booze and debauchery, it is also home to some amazing shopping boutiques. On the other hand, Magazine Street is the more sophisticated shopper’s haven a six-mile stretch of boutique shopping, Victorian architecture and more.
