About Magazine Street

Magazine Street runs about six miles from Canal Street to the Uptown riverbend, following the curve of the Mississippi River. Its stretches through the Lower Garden District, Garden District and Uptown mix late 19th century houses with antique shops, clothing boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants and bars, many selling handmade one-of-a-kind pieces. Because it is so long, plan to ride the bus or hop in a cab between clusters. The street also passes Audubon Park and Audubon Zoo.
