Southern Fossil & Mineral Exchange
This store – something like a curiosity museum where most everything’s got a price tag on it – can induce bone-rattling nightmares. If you’re impressed by the selection of skulls from all creatures great and small, you can take some home with you. More subdued are the rocks on which ancient life forms have imprinted images of themselves. Pretty cool, even if it just ends up as a paperweight. A selection of animal puppets is just the thing to appease terrified children.

Meyer the Hatter
New Orleans is a hat town, and hats are a good thing. A brim shades the forehead, covers up the sweaty mess the weather turns your hair into and makes you look bad ass. Meyer has a truly astounding inventory of world-class headwear, and it’s serious about its goods: clerks shoo away interlopers who come looking for the wrong type of hat at the wrong time of year.

Retroactive
Once you’ve ducked in through the vintage handbags and crazy hats that literally hang from the ceiling, slow down a bit to inspect the jaw-dropping selection of costume jewelry. Beautiful glass and Bakelite pieces plucked from the mid-20th century cost anywhere from $20 to $500.
