LOUISIANA PURCHASE

Located in the historic district, this store is a must for bringing a little bit of Louisiana home. Whether it's hot sauces (including the unavoidable Tabasco), gumbo or beignet mixes, Cajun music, books, decorative items featuring the fleur de lys and so on, you're sure to find something to please you here. But don't miss the two big stars of the store, the pralines and the incredible fudges (more than 15 different kinds) that attract the crowds.
