Sellwood Antique Row

Portland, Oregon

Photo: Willis Anderson

A stretch of SE 13th Avenue lined with antique shops, vintage stores, and curiosity dealers. Each shop has its own personality — mid-century modern at one, Victorian oddities at the next, vintage clothes at a third. You can lose an entire afternoon wandering from storefront to storefront, and the neighborhood's quiet residential streets make it feel like a treasure hunt in a small town.

Insider tip

Start at Stars Antique Mall and work your way south. Budget at least two hours. The vintage kitchenware and old Oregon ephemera are the standout finds.

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

Stumptown Coffee Roasters

The roastery that launched Portland's third-wave coffee obsession and never stopped pushing. The Division Street location is where the magic happens — beans roasted on-site, baristas who can explain terroir like sommeliers, and a stripped-back space that lets the coffee do all the talking. Twenty-plus years in, Stumptown still sets the bar.

Canard
EatDivision

Canard

The wine bar next door to Le Pigeon that might actually be better for a Tuesday night. Small plates, natural wines, and a buzzy counter-seating energy that makes you feel like you're in on something. The menu changes constantly, but the duck — this is a duck-focused restaurant, after all — is always worth ordering in whatever form it takes.

Ace Hotel Portland
StayPearl District

Ace Hotel Portland

The hotel that invented the modern boutique hotel playbook — repurposed vintage furniture, a lobby full of freelancers, and a turntable in every room. The Portland outpost was the original, and it still has a lived-in warmth that the imitators can't replicate. Stumptown in the lobby, Pepe Le Moko in the basement. You could spend a whole trip without leaving the building.

ShopNolita · New York, New York

McNally Jackson Books

The independent bookstore that Nolita deserves. The curation leans literary and international in a way that feels personal, not algorithmic. The staff picks are actually trustworthy, the design section in the basement is superb, and there's an Espresso Book Machine that can print you a bound copy of nearly any public-domain title while you wait.

ShopBerry Hill · Nashville, Tennessee

Grimey's New & Preloved Music

Nashville's essential record store, now in a sprawling Berry Hill space that feels like a music lover's warehouse. The vinyl selection is deep and obsessively curated, the staff knows more about every genre than most critics, and the in-store performances have hosted everyone from Jack White to Jason Isbell. This is where Nashville's musical soul lives on shelves.
