So yes, walk in to the huge nursery but don't feel overwhelmed. There will be a well-informed employee there to help you. And you don't have to go hunting for them. Perino's is paradise at this time of year when most of our minds are geared towards making our outdoor spaces beautiful, even if in a month or two we will be hiding inside from the heat. Perino's has it all from annuals to perennials to shrubs to trees and everything in between. Yes, you're paying more for things than you will at HD or Lowes, but the quality is profoundly superior to what you'll get there (sidenote: it's depressing to see the wilting flora at the big box stores, clearly due to lack of watering. Then they put them on sale but c'mon). Perino's has sales at times, too. Proof of quality: I see in my last review 12 years ago that I mention buying a star jasmine vine. I still have that vine and it made it through two cross country moves!

We went to Perino's to pick out my first real Christmas tree ever. It was the first weekend that…read morethey had trees, so they were very, very busy! They were quickly putting new trees out as others were purchased. We found the 7-8 foot section and I quickly found one that I liked. We opted to have the tree delivered ($55 for our area). They had a large selection of trees in all sizes. They build their own stands and have the water bowl built in to keep the tree fresh and they give the tree a fresh cut on delivery day. Only disappointment we had is that their info sheet they give you for delivery says they'll help you decide on which side to face outward and trim any branches that need trimming. Instead they brought the tree in, put it on the floor protector we bought, and cut the string wrapped around the tree before running out the door. We had quite a bit to trim around the base before decorating including quite a few small branches that went directly into the water bowl. Next time we may just have them tie it to the car and save the delivery fee.

Our guidebook said if the staff like you, they'll give you a password to a secret speakeasy but perhaps that is outdated since we also passed a vampire bar and a vampire cafe nearby. Anyway, the selection is fun for horror and vampire fans and they have enough of a selection in their small space that ranges from fun to slightly macabre. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. We didn't purchase anything but were glad we stopped in to look.

Located in the Tremé area and right off the access road, Crazy Plant Bae is a shop that is not only…read moreavailable for your plant needs but it is a unique and out-of-the-box event space for a special event like a baby shower or birthday party. This building it was situated in is a historic bank and event space from what I was told. If you look at the architecture around while shopping you see the history and can appreciate it even more. The owner is so sweet and she has some of the best plants and variety you can find. What stood out to me was how reasonable everything was and you can even buy pots and other garden supplies. Crazy Plant Bae is accessible for anyone who is wanting a green thumb and become a plant parent! You'll be happy to know you can stretch your dolalr pretty well here.

We popped by in search of a few silly souvenirs to take home to folks and while we didn't get any souvenirs, we did find a great cookbook of all things New Orleans that caught our attention! We gifted it to our Cajun loving friend for her birthday, so it all worked out! Prices were a bit high, but we expected it knowing it was a souvenir shop in the French Quarter. Service was fine. No major issues, but wouldn't classify it as "friendly" either. Overall, solid shop to waste a few minutes in on your mission to find the perfect souvenir...or kitchen towel!

This place…read moreis a true hidden gem--a hybrid art gallery and curated artisan market that feels like you've stumbled into a treasure chest of local creativity. Think of it as an art fair without the pressure--no hovering artists or awkward small talk. Just beautifully displayed works from small, independent makers. It's an introvert's dream and a perfect place to find souvenirs that aren't basic or mass-produced. The selection is incredible: * Handmade jewelry * Local art prints and stickers * Bags, shirts, and fridge magnets * And a constantly rotating mix of other unique finds There's no singular aesthetic or theme, which is part of the charm--you're bound to find something that speaks to you personally. I didn't take any photos out of respect for the artists, but trust me when I say you'll find something special here. Zèle is the kind of place you'll want to keep to yourself, but you also can't help telling everyone about. Whether you're shopping for gifts or just want something more meaningful than a Cafe Du Monde mug, this is the place.
