If you have a HALF-DAY When you have the time to stroll between stores and linger over racks of vintage duds, head straight to Hampden. On your way into the neighborhood, swing by the Hunting Ground, in an old converted church on Falls Road. There, owners Jenna Hattenburg and Jess Soulen mix in a highly curated selection of stylish vintage clothing finds with small, independent brands. Once you’ve finished there, hop over to Hampden’s main shopping drag on West 36th Street—a slew of vintage shops awaits. Hit up Milk & Ice Vintage, in a shared space with Sturgis Antiques, to find lovingly selected vintage from best-friend duo Angie Gavin and Kate Schultz. Continue heading down the street to nearby Doubledutch, which sells modern designs with a retro flair alongside a selection of vintage goods. Interested in vintage shopping beyond clothing? Nearby Wishbone Reserve, on Falls Road, sells an eclectic mix of pre-loved home furnishings and accessories. Milk & Ice Vintage TIP If all this shopping has made you hungry, you’re in the right place. Stop into The Food Market for a bite while you’re in the neighborhood—and if you add on a savory pastry (all gluten-free!) at Harmony Bakery or a scoop of Maryland Mud ice cream from The Charmery, well, we can’t blame you. Hunting Ground JUSTIN TSUCALAS If you have LOTS OF TIME Housewerks MARYLAYNA DEMOND FOR BALTIMORE HOME Head all over the city to scout places that aren’t near each other! Head to Roland Park for a double-dip of modern-day designer consignment, hitting up Redeux Consignment and Vogue Revisited. For home items, check out Cedar & Cotton in Southwest Baltimore for thoughtfully curated furniture, including mid-century burl wood tables, woven rattan chairs and updated upholstered chairs (open Saturdays and by appointment only). Those who are really interested in a hunt would do well to spend some time digging through the architectural salvage at Housewerks, in a historic Bayard Station building in Pigtown. It’s a treasure trove of industrial gems that are fun to pick through even if you buy nothing. Best part about the all-day approach? When you’re driving all over, the city is your oyster for making other stops. TIP Try refueling at R. House for a bite to eat between boutiques, or swing by Artifact Coffee to recaffeinate. ■ BALTIMORE.ORG 17
