New Orleans Shopping

Head to the French Quarter’s Chartre Street for artsy boutiques and very non-touristy goods.

Fragrance: Whenever I travel, I like to return with a scent from that place. New Orleans has fabulous fragrance shops that offer online purchasing and have been in operation for generations. Two include:

Hove Parfume

and

Bourbon French Parfums

And you can’t leave New Orleans without stocking up on your Aunt Sally’s pralines.
