Shopping in New Orleans
You will find all types of shopping in New Orleans, but the city is exceptional for antiques and local arts and crafts. Louisiana’s tax free shopping programme grants shoppers from other countries a sales tax rebate. Retailers who display the tax free sign issue vouchers for the 9% sales tax, which can be redeemed on departure. Present the vouchers with your passport and international plane ticket at the tax rebate office at New Orleans International Airport and receive up to $500 in cash back. If the amount redeemable exceeds $500, a check for the difference will be mailed to you.
Most of the French Quarter’s ritzy antique sores, musty bazaars, art galleries and boutiques are housed in quaint 19th century structures. The sleek indoor malls of the CBD include River walk with more than 200 specialty shops and restaurants. Canal Place has more than 40 Tony shops, a food court, and cinemas. The New Orleans Center is connected by a walk way to the Super dome and a hotel. River bend has specially shops and restaurants, many cradled in small Creole cottages.
