Take a long walk down Royal Street (perhaps with a drink in hand!) and enjoy the wide variety of local artwork and a range of shops and purveyors of Louisiana culture. A MUST VISIT on your walk is what I consider to be the best antique store in the city, M.S. Rau. - inside is 3 floors of artwork, antiques, history and mind blowing artifacts that are one of a kind. **MAKE SURE TO ASK TO SEE THE VAULT**
The sun is shining this weekend so be sure to carve out an hour or two and take a long walk down Magazine St. to explore the wide variety of eclectic art and craft shops, antique stores, modern and vintage clothing, and endless options for food and drinks.
