The Best Shopping in Maryland

Antique Row (Baltimore, Md.): In a single block of Howard Street, a few blocks north of downtown, serious antiques fans can find old silver, chandeliers, assorted porcelain, and chairs of all sizes and shapes.

Downtown Annapolis, Md.: Main Street and Maryland Avenue offer all kinds of choices in little shops. Tuscan kitchenware, Christmas ornaments, antique mirrors, and Navy sweat shirts are only a few of the items on these charming streets. There are a few chain stores, but the best shops are locally owned.
