The best and most entertaining shopping street in New Orleans...

When you visit New Orleans you will experience the people, the culture, the history, the music, and the delicious food. You will be glad you came to our great city.

New Orleans was originally developed into a city of commerce because the Mississippi River could transport people and products. Travelers from many places came to settle here, bringing their unique customs. This has created a city rich in traditions and diversity of cultures.

Magazine Street, just minutes from downtown New Orleans, is named for a warehouse that Spanish governor Esteban Rodriquez Mire y Sabater built in the 1780's. This warehouse, known as a "magazin," housed products awaiting export. During Miro's term, Spain allowed trade with France and the French West Indies. The duty on ships was removed for two years and this allowed the development of New Orleans as an international port.

You can see the gradual expansion that followed in the progression of architectural styles of Magazine Street as it winds upriver.When in New Orleans, if you want to shop on a street like no other, visit Magazine Street. You will be excited to come back for more. The street is filled with a great spirit and the best shopping experience you will ever find.
