Helpfulness
So many neat little shops along your way at the waterfront and brick marketplace area. For me it's a saturation of design, architecture, history, cobblestone streets and retail. Love the buildings...don't forget to look up at the tops above the store windows.
My guest from California chose an inexpensive soulvenir shop for 3 sweatshirts for $22...quite a bargain in the off season....but you could also find some wonderful jewelry by a silversmith or pottery, dishware, and plenty of watering holes along the way.
Summertime brings a zillion tourists, so be prepared for the traffic, parking problems and crowds if you arrive in July.

At the moment I can not for the life of me remember the exact name of this shop, I am sure I have a business card at home somewhere.
Anyway, I love doggy specialty shops, and this one was no exception. Quite small but with really cute things like this little "doggy bathing suit". The majority of their goods were clothing, carry bags, frames, books and of course clothing.
I just couldn't believe that they had bathing suits for the pups. Too cute.
What to buy: Anything a little pampered pet would want.

There are so many shops in this group of stores, it would take you a couple of days to cover all of it. Wander along the brick sidewalks, stop for ice cream, lunch, or a beer, enjoy the sunshine...wander....
It's always breezy there...so bring a sweater on a mild day. Lots of treasures to choose from. Inexpensive to pricey... you can find it...and if not, then hike up hill a way where there are antique shops and other marvels to be found.
