A stroll along the town's main artery, Queen Street, will take you by some entertaining, albeit touristy, shops. The Niagara Apothecary, at no. 5 (tel. 905/468-3845), dates to 1866. Gold-leaf script marks its original black-walnut counters and the contents of the drawers, and the original glass and ceramic apothecary ware is on display. At no. 13 is the Scottish Loft (tel. 905/468-0965), which is filled with tartans, Celtic memorabilia, candy, books, CDs, and DVDs (aside from the tartans, the products hail from England and Wales, too). Maple Leaf Fudge, no. 14 (tel. 905/468-2211), offers more than 20 varieties that you can watch being made on marble slabs. At no. 16 is a charming toy store, The Owl and the Pussycat (tel. 905/468-3081). At no. 35 is Greaves Jam (tel. 905/468-7331), run by fourth-generation jam makers. Irish Design, at no. 38 (tel. 905/468-7233), sells hand-knit sweaters, traditional gold and silver jewelry, and other treasures from the Emerald Isle. The Shaw Shop (tel. 800/511-7429), no. 79, next to the Royal George Theatre, carries GBS memorabilia and more. A Dansk outlet and several galleries selling contemporary Canadian and other ethnic crafts round out the mix.
