      Thanks for your comments. Piranesi is located at 2104 Magazine Street in New Orleans. You can sign up for blog posts and we will send out an email when our shipment arrives. To make room for our Argentina finds we are having a 50% off sale (which will go through 9/19/09); thus, the shop is currently somewhat empty. Would love for you to stop by.
