Browsing the Park Avenue district

Books, jewelry and the small shops worth leaving the main sidewalk for.

Give yourself time to wander off the main sidewalk. The Park Avenue district is walkable, and the Chamber’s shopping guide includes specialty shops around the Avenue as well as the storefronts facing it.

Readers can start at Writer’s Block Bookstore, an independent shop the Chamber highlights for author events and local finds. If you’re shopping for jewelry, Almut Belote makes fine jewelry by hand, while Be On Park carries designer collections and offers custom work.

For a gift-shopping afternoon, choose one destination in advance and browse on the way. Check shops’ own hours or event listings before making a special trip. The Chamber’s guide also covers nearby shopping districts if you want to go farther afield.
