Newport :: Shopping
Like its dining and nightlife, Newport has a wide variety in its shopping offerings, from standard chain stores such as Barnes & Noble to independent specialty shops. Newport on the Levee boasts a number of shopping options, including outdoor kiosks in the courtyard that open during the summer to sell both traditional and somewhat more bizarre products - like hermit crabs.
One of the most colorful of the independent specialty shops is Sin City Antique Gallery, which provides not only a fun browsing experience, but a quick history lesson as well. Shabby Euro Chic is another eclectic boutique, featuring painted vintage furniture, Paris imports, garden décor, chandeliers and old linens. Another great little trinket shop is Seventh Street Gifts, offering everything from cards and art work to jewelry and aromatherapy oils.
