Charming and eclectic, this neighborhood began to come into its own as a specialty shopping district as early as the 1920s. These days, independently-owned retail shops and restaurants pepper the area, some retaining their original storefronts. For a pleasant afternoon, stroll the streets and pop in to stores like Cellar & Loft (international foods and wines) and Fiddly Fig Gifts & Flowers. Belle Napoli (an Italian market) and Pickerman's Soup and Sandwiches are great choices for a relaxed lunch.
