Old City is not only home to the city’s largest concentration of historic attractions; it is also a shopper’s paradise. Tourists and locals alike flock to the clothing boutiques and art galleries. Whether you’re looking for books and music, vintage jeans, or furniture that doubles as artwork, Old City has it all.
With great restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and an attractive, manageable several square blocks to navigate, it is also one of the most pleasant areas for shopping.
The best time to shop for art is during the first Friday of each month, when the galleries [1] open their doors to the public to display and sell their wares.
