re: How is the new riverwalk?

Not sure the river walk was meant to be a tourist destination

It's full of shitty outlet stores so I guess it depends how you feel about that

We have stores like Marshall's, Tjmax, etc. Out here I can buy name gear stuff like Nike, under armour for like 70% off.

Those usually carry defective items that don't pass QC, most of the time you can't tell the different though

Riverwalk = not good.

Expensive parking, stores with 'sales' that are regular prices. Food court that was okay. For a tourist destination in New Orleans I thought it severely lacking in anything that called out to a visitor that you're in NOLA enjoy yourself. At least play Jazz over the speakers or decorate it authentically.

I really think the Riverwalk was built to be cruiser bait. New Orleans is more of a destination/departure port than many others. People at the Erato or Julia terminal will see the Riverwalk right there and check it out. It's like every port of call you ever go to and the tourist shops it draws in. Not many of those shops I see are draws to locals. I think Gonzales still has better options as far as an outlet mall.
