Like most things in this most unusual of cities, shopping in New Orleans is a wholly different experience. Though the surrounding areas boast malls to rival any in America, New Orleans still believes in the old-world marketplace tradition.

Here, historic districts and luxury centers dedicated to the art of shopping gather remarkable concentrations of specialty shops, designer boutiques, galleries, cafés and restaurants.

Downtown or Uptown, the convenience of walking store to store is topped only by the enjoyment of exploring charming neighborhoods . . . and the thrill of discovering one-of-a-kind treasures.
