We took an uber to get there. The shops are extremely over priced. I don’t mind paying for a quality piece of clothing but the majority of clothes I looked at were in the $300 plus range. There was nothing in any of the stores that I thought was worth the price they were asking.

After placing an online order, I waited an hour and 15 minutes for it to be delivered. When it was not, I called to check the status, and was told the order was on the way. Two hours later I called back, to be told my order had actually never been fulfilled. The very nice lady who told me it wasn’t their fault for the error because they were so busy, promptly hung up the phone on me.

We took the Charles Street trolley car from the edge of French Quarter, getting off at Felicity and walking a few blocks to Magazine Street. We only walked a fraction of the of the length of Magazine. We specifically selected the day of Champagne Stroll, with several stores serving champagne. There is a nice selection of boutique-style stores, highly-rated restaurants, and houses. The architecture is simply amazing, in particular on Bienville. See separate reviews of restaurants Justine and The Rum House.

Magazine Street was within walking distance of our lodging. We enjoyed browsing some of the shops, but didn’t buy anything. We had lunch & dinner at different restaurants on Magazine Street our first day. I anticipate that we will try some other restaurants there before we end our trip. We felt safe walking the 20 minutes there & back.

Old part of NOLA. Long street with pay to park is a must. Walk one hour and walk one hour back. Locals go here. Unique shops.

My daughter and I loved visiting Magazine St, stopping in all of the cute boutiques and stores! Some of the highlights included: Fleurty Girl, Nadeau Furniture, Hemline, and NOLA Couture! We had a wonderful lunch at the Ruby Slipper, boba tea at Gong Cha, and coffee at CR Coffee House. Definitely recommend for a fun morning/afternoon!

Caught the Charles St trolley out to Napoleon & then walked back to the French Quarter. While 3 miles isn’t really that long of a walk it definitely feels longer in the summer heat & humidity. Fortunately there are plenty of neat shops to duck into and cafes along the way where you can stop off to cool down and hydrate

Overall, a quaint stretch of shops, restaurants and bars, each with a different feel. Magazine street starts at Canal St. in the Central Business district where it looks like any other street in the area. As you cross the highway (overpass), you will move into the Coliseum Square area which is generally an eyesore, but there are a few divey bars and junk shops. As you cross Felicity, you move into the Garden district stretch which has more antique shops (rather than just junk), a few boutiques, cafes and bars until you get to about Louisiana, then it drops off into a mish mosh of uninspired businesses, pawn shops, until you get to Napoleon. Then between Napoleon and Jefferson, the cute boutiques pick up again, then come into full force after Jefferson. After about Nashville, it becomes residential and you enter Audubon park where it ends near the zoo. if you are into shopping, then this is the place to go. Decent prices, compared to the Quarter, although not cheap. Where lots of locals go to shop for the unusual, or meet friends for lunch or a drink. Generally safe, especially during the day, but exercise caution at night, depending on which stretch you are on. Parking can be found along the street itself or the many smaller streets off the main drag, especially on the river side.

I was recently strolling along Magazine St looking at antique shops. Magazine Street is a wonderful street for strolling, looking at shops, munching, imbibing, etc. I was hunting for a particular period piece for my home. I entered Kevin Stone Antiques at 3420 Magazine St. and inquired about the style specific item. One of the attendants said they did not carry such things and homeowners of that particular style used other items for decoration. When I expressed casual disbelief that homeowners were furnishing a style specific home with items not specific to that style he said "If you are going to have that attitude i'm not going to speak to you any longer". He then proceeded to 'busy' himself with his computer. When I apologized that I meant no offense and that I was simply surprised by the idea, he continued to pretend that I did not exist and was not speaking directly to him. His partner also took the same attitude. I promptly collected my spouse and left with a 'thank you' (no response) and 'I hope you have a good day' (no response). I was absolutely amazed at the childish behavior on display in this shop. If you are in the market for antiques or just out for a stroll on Magazine, avoid this shop completely. They have nothing you could want so badly as to put up with such malevolent behavior.

My daughter attends Tulane and lives in a rental on Magazine Street. I really feel she is in the safest place she can be. Magazine Street is beautiful and quiet for the most part. The restaurants and bars seem to be very respectful of the neighborhood. It's my favorite Street in New Orleans and the restaurants and shops are great.

I am staying on St Ann Street how far is magazine street
Written 28 March 2017
Since you will be in the French quarter you will definitely need to either Uber or take the St Charles street car to the Garden District. Magazine street parallels St Charles so just ask the driver which stop you should get off. There's tons of great eateries and cute shops all up and down Magazine street so it's definitely worth visiting!
Written 29 March 2017
Hi I'm planning on taking a trip there just wanted to know if it's safe?
Written 11 September 2016
Yes, I feel Magazine Street is very safe. It is not a touristy area as such and quite unlike some of the other areas of New Orleans it is not as noisy and overcrowded. I felt quite safe there and enjoyed every minute. Mind you, I was not there at night.
