I've been reading about how New Orleans was voted the number one spot in the nation for flea…read moremarkets; so how come Yelp is lacking on reviewing them? This is why a NOLA Elite is needed... I got a tip on River Road Flea Market from an acquaintance, who became an acquaintance because I was asking about where to get furniture. Of all the stores and spots she recommended, this was my favorite and definitely the best. It was a little difficult to find because their address online says the city's name is Jefferson and my GPS only recognizes Jefferson as a parish. Now I know it's in New Orleans city, and not all the far away at all. It's located literally right by the river, separated by a grassy bank and the levee. The building is HUGE. It's like a warehouse divided into little rooms, all of which are decorated with amazing antiques and thrifty finds for a fairly reasonable price (about 125 for a desk-sized table, 150 for a wardrobe or dresser). It's not the cheapest spot, but the quality of the merchandise makes up for it. They get most of their merchandise from estate sales, apparently, and the eclectic collection certainly reflects that. Several of the rooms are themed: jewelry, records, children's furniture and toys (there was an amazing vintage rocking chair that I would buy just to anticipate having children... except I'm not), books, etc. Outside in a small gated area, they sell specialty Mexican pottery, most of which is large and would be appropriate for a yard, and wrought iron benches and trellises. I purchased a vintage bracelet for $5, and I can't wait to go back and actually purchase furniture, once I'm moved in! Just don't beat me to it; there's a table and a bedframe that I've already got my eye on...

This small jewelry store is truly a hidden gem in New Orleans…read more The selection is great and thoughtfully curated, with pieces that feel both unique and high quality. What really sets it apart, though, is the customer service, friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful without ever feeling pushy. You can tell they care about their customers and take pride in what they do. A great place to shop if you're looking for something special and a pleasant, personal experience. I was just window shopping, ended up spending a few hundred. It was worth every penny.

My boyfriend and I were from out of town and I had heard through locals that Davids Antiques and…read moreJewelry sold what is called voodoo jewelry, so of course we had to find this place and go in. They had the most beautiful jewelry, very different from ordinary jewelry, and yes they had the voodoo. It is a very unique stone that changes color, guess you could say it reminded me of the mood rings back in the day. Of course I had to get it along with some other pretty jewelry. The lady in the store who waited on me was so helpful and took her time with me. I would high recommend this store. The jewelry is very different and beautiful. I'll definitely go back.

In my cargo shorts and T-shirt and guzzling a large jug of water, the proprietor must have thought we were there for some free air conditioning. Bad call, Mr. Proprietor. Yes, we were hot and sweaty. Yes, the air conditioning felt good. And yes, I have money to spend. Yes, I collect antique furniture. And if you had taken the time to even acknowledge me, you might have found out that I've gone so far as to use dendrochronology to authenticate a few of my pieces. Serious collectors come in all shapes and sizes, and it's dangerous to judge people that walk through your door like that. The pieces I saw in our brief walkthrough looked to be good quality, but this shop isn't the only game in town and you can definitely find better service.

The owner/worker (?) has always been pleasant and chatty but also leaves you to browse. The store is chock full so be prepared to be careful as you make your way through all the merchandise. Prices seem high for some items and then incredibly reasonable for others. There's usually a discount on the marked price which is a technique I'm not so fond of but I guess that it works. I've purchased christmas ornaments (new stock), small boxes, miniature figurines, used books, and even a solar waving Queen of England. Definitely worth a pass-by for a unique gift or the perfect item for your home.

It's a vintage thrift store but they also sell a limited number new items. I visit when I need a unique piece or even a costume or wig. The pricing is usually reasonable depending on the piece. They're very particular when choosing what to buy and I appreciate that as a buyer. I've sold a few things but im always surprised by what they choose to skip on in terms of high end gently worn items from my own closet. In any case, I respect their methods. The staff is usually pretty helpful though not always the most enthusiastic. However, I understand everyone has rough days. Some of my favorite pieces come from Funky Monkey, so I'll definitely be back.

But this time around, it was just a bunch of poorly curated junk. The way things were displayed was poor, just unorganized, requiring you to dig around. It feels overwhelming going in here. Previously, I felt like I was on a treasure hunt, but this time around, I was feeling anxiety going through all the stuff. They do have old typewriters and old phones though, at decent price (around $115-175 for typewriters, and $25 for the old phones). I thought those were the coolest items. But honestly, they didn't even have the cute charm I was hoping for. Some of the typewriters did have handles, which was great if you wanted to carry it on your flight back home. But, you couldn't take the lid off...just a bummer. Will forever continue to search for the vintage typewriter and phone.
