Here shoppers enjoy a wide variety of options including a blend of both locally-owned businesses and branded specialty stores for women, men and children. Pleasant surprises can be found along each block – from quaint boutiques featuring jewelry, handbags and luggage to establishments highlighting practical and not-so-practical necessities such as home decor, optical/eyeware as well as beauty and personal care items and services.

It can be the hot spot that caters to the late crowd or a quiet courtyard café for the more subdued.
