Another New Orleans Stop: Ann Koerner Antiques

Magazine Street was blessedly spared Katrina's wrath and the antique stores there are open for business, many never having closed for very long at all. Ann Koerner features beautiful Swedish and French designs, all displayed in a quiet and elegant manner as these pictures reveal. When I go to New Orleans, I skip shopping for antiques in the French Quarter and head straight for Magazine Street. If you've never been and you love French antiques, book a flight as soon as you can. But don't forget your wallet, things are pricey on Magazine Street.

Lucullus Antiques: New Orleans and Breaux Bridge

Beautiful images from Lucullus, epicurean antique store in New Orleans and Breaux Bridge Louisiana (second store opened when New Orleans was clinging for dear life after Katrina.) Lucullus has everything French for the stomach - furniture in which to sit while you eat, plates for your food, glasses for your wine, pots to cook in and much more. Heure pour le dîner!
