MAGAZINE STREET

Magazine Street is six miles with a distinctly unique flair

Visually, the street offers an abundance of historic buildings from mansions, (now housing elegant bed & breakfasts or single family homes) to Victorian row houses, some residential, some art galleries, some local shops; to a renovated bus barn, converted to a neighborhood grocery.

Magazine Street is Main Street USA in true New Orleans style, offering an array of experiences with incredible flavor.

While you will find a few national brands, locally owned businesses are the norm.

Unique boutiques, top chefs, arts studios, and markets have been popping up along this exceptional thoroughfare since the early days of New Orleans.

The downriver end of Magazine Street is at Canal Street; on the other side of Canal Street in the French Quater the street becomes Decatur Street.

From Canal through the CBD and Lower Garden District, Magazine Street is one-way in the upriver direction; downriver traffic forks to join Camp Street, the next street away from the river.

 Above Felicity Street to the far Uptown end it has a lane of traffic going in both directions with parking on both sides.

The street follows the length of the crescent through Uptown,

After several miles of residential and commercial neighborhoods, it cuts through Audubon Park with its zoo on the river side of the street.

The far upper end of the street is at Leake Avenue, a part of the Great River Road, where it turns away from the river in the Carrollton riverbend.
