French Quarter Gem & Lapidary

in response to Frances

I need all your New Orleans recs! I love the city, I haven’t been in years, and I’m planning a 3 day, 4 night trip with my boyfriend in early November. Where should we stay? Neighborhoods and specific hotels welcome. My brief trip formula is l: something to move my body (long walks, hikes, maybe a walking tour?), something to move my spirit (museums, galleries, a walking tour could fit here too), and at least one truly excellent meal. So what should we do? Where must we eat? Thank you!

One of my favorite places for jewelry, it’s become a ritual stop for me when I’m in NOLA. Comb through glass cases of unique stones or stock up on crystals. A mix of price points so you can always find something. Last year I got a pair of moldavite earrings (moldavite was formed from a meteorite impact, very cool). They will also re-size and ship for you. Plan ahead, they have weird hours!
