Information on the French Quarter
The French Quarter is an area of downtown New Orleans that consists of a couple of different parts. It's got the French Market, which is the area closest to the Mississippi. This is basically a big selection of shops and restaurants. They've got dozens of gift shops, voodoo shops, kite and toy shops, and candy stores.
Go a little further up and it is mostly art galleries and antique shops.
Finally, when you get up to Bourbon Street, it is largely bars and other drinking establishments of Mardis Gras fame.
Virtually everything seems to be reopened since Hurricane Katrina, as this area was not hit that bad. However, some stores have had financial problems related to the Hurricane that have indirectly forced them to close. I haven't seen many closed up shops around the area, though.
