French Market — Attraction in New Orleans

I remember this place being way more unique the last time I was in NOLA, so I made it a point to go again. Half the market is places to eat, the other half is shopping from local vendors flea market style. The vendors all have their prices pretty high, verging on unreasonable and you'll find that the NOLA hospitality is sorely lacking from many of the food workers and the vendors that work the market. Most of what was being sold were cheap quality goods/t-shirts/french masks. Nothing really stood out as being entirely unique except for maybe 3 tables in total. The bathrooms are in the middle of the market and poorly marked. If you ask for help finding it from one of the workers at the market restaurants, expect an attitude. There is a water fountain and bottle refill station by the women's bathroom, but I am not sure how good the quality of the water is if you are drinking it straight from the pipes, the vendors were using the water bottle refill station to wash their hands, instead of going into the bathroom. (I use a life straw bottle with a filtration system) The market itself smells strongly of garbage and alcohol. I wouldn't waste time to go here...

The French Market has always been a favorite place to shop for me when visiting the French Quarter. During the week, vendors are sparse, but shopping can still be conducted for unique items as well as souvenirs. Each vendor displays items for sale on tables, allowing customers to view and shop at their leisure. Products range from spices to statues, jewelry, knickknacks, etc. As an adolescent, I remember walking through the various vendors while bargaining for silver jewelry pieces. While in the market, my party did partake in one of the adult refreshment stands. The French Market is something that needs to be experienced by anyone...
