Who doesn't love going to the French Quarter and walking around Pirate's Alley looking at all the amazing artwork? Because we sure do. After taking a stroll around, we like to go to Faulkner House Books to pick up a great book and then sit in Jackson Square and read for a little bit. 📚

Faulkner House Books is located in the heart of New Orleans’ beautiful and historic French Quarter, just off Jackson Square, behind the Cabildo and opposite St. Louis Cathedral’s rear garden.

They believe in creating change through building community, promoting literacy, and demanding social justice. They also ensure our community has access to stories that reflect diverse experiences. Tubby & Coo's envision a future where everyone is empowered, able, and encouraged to tell their own stories, regardless of social class, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, religion, race, age, or culture. Every voice deserves to be heard, and we work to build a world where all voices are equally important.

One of our favorite days is when Baldwin & Co. opened its door to us in February. We waited in line and watched the doors open to the community and it continues to open its doors to anyone that wants to stop by. For students coming back, it's a great place to study (or read a book) while sipping on a killer iced latte.

Baldwin & Co. is an independent bookstore located on Elysian Fields. Inside, books on mystery, business, history, art, travel, children’s literature and more fill the floor to ceiling shelves. In addition to books, the bookshop offers high quality coffee, tea and fresh pastries. Baldwin & Co., named after the writer and activist James Baldwin, has a mission built on community outreach, education and what Johnson calls the “growth mindset".
