French Market, New Orleans

This was recommended to me by friends and family who had previously visited New Orleans. This is located more towards the riverfront of the city and the outskirts of the French Quarter. It is a few blocks, it is open air but covered. There are many different vendors and restaurants that set up and take down every single day. There are a variety of goods from clothing to accessories to handmade crafts to art. It represents the variety of cultures that come together in New Orleans. We got pralines from Loretta’s authentic pralines. I got a T shirt from a shop that prints their own logos on the shirts. Although many stands take credit card through the square app, I would recommend cash. Many vendors prefer it and some require minimums to charge on the card. It probably takes 20-30 minutes to walk through the whole thing. All vendors were extremely friendly and were willing to answer any questions, and none were pushy or aggressive in any way.

So much fun! Cool little shops in the French quarter. Love being able to sip on cocktails and shop at the same time! (Warning:)) Go early as they button it all up at 5pm! Bathrooms are far and few between. Doesn't make it easy when the cocktails taste so good. Paid parking nearby or take your chances on finding free street parking.
