Buying New Orleans Stuff This Christmas
a Kossack was wondering if I could suggest some places where people could buy New Orleans stuff, thereby helping boost the New Orleans economy. I've come up with a few ideas:
Cafe du Monde - http://shop.cafedumonde.html - full line of CDM products, coffee, beignet mix, mugs, stuff.
Pat O'Brien's - http://www.patobriens.com/giftshopcatalog.html - hurricane mix, other drinks, glassware, stuff.
Abita Brewing Company - http://www.abita.com/abitastore/mall/shop_home.asp - lots of neat stuff
Mignon Faget - http://www.mignonfaget.com - fine jewelry
Tabasco - http://countrystore.tabasco.com/ - arguable just how "New Orleans" Tabasco stuff is, but you get the idea.
Audubon Nature Institute - http://www.auduboninstitute.org/site/PageServer?pagename=eShops - Zoo-logo stuff
New Orleans Street Railway Association - http://www.nosra.org - buy one of our streetcar shirts!
ProCreations - http://www.art4now.com/store/default.asp - Official JazzFest merchandise, including posters
This is a start, but as you can see, it's all big companies. The more I think about it, the more I realized that I don't buy little New Orleans-themed things on line. I don't know which companies on the Internets are legit and which aren't. If you guys have any recommendations, please let me know, so we can get a good list together.
