Besides the French Quarter, Magazine Street was what my pre-New Orleans research told me I had to experience. And trust me, after making the decision to walk nearly the entire length of the street, starting just off of the French Quarter at Canal Street and going into the belly of the Garden District, experience it I most certainly did! Along the way, there were industrial buildings, charming old homes of every color, much love for the Saints football team, lush greenery from yard shrubbery to overarching trees, and finally, delicious restaurants and funky vintage clothing and furniture shops to explore and enjoy. At the end of my Magazine Street adventure, I made the executive decision that if I lived in New Orleans, this is where I would want to be! Take a look for yourself…
