New Orleans

Way down yonder in New Orleans (French: La Nouvelle-Orléans), you'll find the roots of jazz and a blossoming culture that is unlike anything else on Earth. Here, the laid-back atmosphere of the riverfront South has mixed with French sophistication, Spanish style, and African-American energy to create something greater than the sum of its parts. "NOLA" is the largest city in Louisiana and one of the top tourist destinations in the United States. "Laissez les bons temps rouler" is what they say here in the Big Easy, and you too can "let the good times roll" with a cool stroll down Bourbon Street, a hot Dixieland band, and even hotter Creole cuisine.

    Arcadian Books & Art Prints

    With stacks of books filling every available surface, this is a sight to be seen (and maybe some photos posted so your friends will believe you when you get home and try to describe it to them). This is a good choice if you're love browsing through used books and don't mind packed-full shelves and partially blocked aisles in your search for a possibly overlooked treasure. Some non-English books. Staff is helpful and speak French, and while it looks disorganized, the owner seems to know where every book is. Cash only.

    Derby Pottery

    Derby Pottery and Tile

    Derby Pottery and Tile manufactues the iconic New Orleans Blue and White street tiles in the American style (since 2003) and Belgian style. New Orleans Blue and White street tiles are indigenous pieces of history unique to the city of New Orleans. Beginning in the 1880s the city of New Orleans has embedded letter tiles in city sidewalk intersections identifying the two street names. In the more commercial districts of the city you will see the name of a business embedded in front of what was, or still is a storefront, especially in evidence along Magazine Street where the Derby Pottery studio and showroom are located. You will find street tiles throughout the city, in all the different Wards, and as house numbers.

    Zulu Memorabilia Club Shop

    Zulu is one of the most famous krewes at Mardi Gras. Zulu's fame stems both from their 100-year-long history, with origins as a satire of white parades during segregation, and for the prized "golden nuggets" (painted coconuts) that they throw to paradegoers. While the Krewe finds its headquarters in this building, the Zulu Memorabilia Club Shop has yet to open—but it will indubitably be cool.

So they have a little of everything, mostly focused on building materials and home furnishings, but also tons of stuff useful for artists (including artist paints). If it's Mardi Gras season, stop by and check out what second hand items and costumes are kicking around!
