Riverwalk Outlets, New Orleans

Offering a more upscale shopping experience, you'll find a selection of stores including Neiman Marcus Last Call, Johnston & Murphy Factory Store, as well as outlets for renowned brands like Coach, Forever 21, Carter's Babies and Kids, Chico's, and Steve Madden. Outside of the mall, you'll discover the lively Spanish Plaza, which frequently hosts outdoor concerts and special events.
