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.
