In Mount Vernon, grand 19th-century mansions now house cultural landmarks, restaurants and hotels. Tucked into many of the neighborhood’s museums are fabulous gift shops—try the Walters Art Museum for art-inspired finds, or the Maryland Historical Society for history buffs and Maryland-themed items. The neighborhood has plenty of boutique shopping, too. At KSM Candle Co., shop the handmade scented soy candles (or make your own!) and peruse attached neighbor Keepers Vintage for a curated selection of handpicked vintage fashion. Other popular shops include Doll House Boutique (contemporary women’s clothing), Baby’s on Fire (records) and FRS (sneakers and streetwear). Stroll The Avenue—that’s 36th Street—in Hampden to pop into many boutiques in one go, including quite a few of the city’s vintage shops. Head to the sprawling two-story Trohv to find just that: A treasure trove of gifts, with a little something for nearly anyone, from cheeky men’s finds to cool kids’ stuff and everything in between.
