Keep your hand on your coin purse!

11:05 AM — 🔮 Marie Laveau’s House of Voodoo

The final treasure stop — a fully-stocked witch’s supply shop with herbs, oils, spell kits, crystals, cauldrons, brooms, tarot, and a legendary altar. The crew’s last chance to acquire mystical cargo before lunch.
1:00 PM — 🍖 SCAVENGE FOR GRUB — Lunch Hunt
📍 Decatur St corridor & French Market area
Drop anchor and forage! You’re already at the edge of the French Market with Decatur St full of plunder.

A few things worth noting about the route:
The scenic passage through Pirates Alley, St. Louis Cathedral, and Jackson Square is built right into the walk between Earth Odyssey and The Shop: Oddities — it’s a natural corridor on the route and only adds a few minutes of walking. It’s genuinely one of the most atmospheric stretches in all of NOLA.
Lunch scavenging territory at the end puts you right along Decatur St with great options just steps away — Café Du Monde for beignets & café au lait, Maspero’s for classic po’boys, or whatever smells best as the crew rounds the corner. No reservations needed — true pirate foraging style. 🍖
