Downtown :: Shopping
Tower Place Mall in the Carew Tower is a good starting point for Downtown shoppers, especially in the colder months; from the mall, one can take the skywalk to Macy's and Brooks Brothers. Many of the street level stores, haberdashers, and clothiers also provide a unique shopping experience. For those of a truly sartorial bent, don’t miss Bolero, and also block off plenty of time for browsing in Mike Trotta. The recently relocated hat shop and local institution Batsakes cannot be missed, and while you’re at it, consider a bright new set of threads from the House of Adam. Other local faves include Pieczionka Unlimited for everything from Red Wing Shoes to monogrammed golf shirts. For jewelry, try Philip Bortz and Richter and Phillips. Saks Fifth Avenue is a professional’s mainstay, and Macy’s is one of the area’s premiere department stores. Carteaux and Leslie Books and Art will yield pleasant window shopping – and you might even find a much-sought-after first edition or print. Or, if you’re interested in creating your own art, stop in at Prince Reproductions, which provides area artists with supplies.
