Clearview Mall

Clearview Mall is in Metairie, a 20-minute drive from the French Quarter depending on traffic. A traditional mall that has undergone some major renovations, Clearview boasts an extra large Target (with cart escalator), Sears and Bed Bath & Beyond. The interior is always bustling, but the walkways are spacious enough to fit your entourage and bags of purchased goods. The movie theater is a big draw here, with tons of screens showing the hottest new releases. Kids will love the trampoline with bungee cord hook-up, a welcome distraction for a weary tag-a-long shopper. Coffee from New Orleans' local fave PJ's Coffee makes a fragrant gift.
