History
Just before Katrina, WhatsNew opened its doors at 824 Decatur Street with a vision to create a unique non-tourist trap for gifts in the Quarter. Despite the rocky start due to the storm, WhatsNew has THRIVED for the last decade and its proud owner, Nancy Tusa, continually takes the shop to new levels. Though we have many tourists crossing our threshold, we have a large local customer base, and we hope it continues to grow!
