The finest boutiques line the south side of E. Market Street. But you can find more on the north side, on Route 9, and in the parking lot off E. Market Street opposite haldora's. Cross Route 9 to visit the exquisite Hummingbird jewelers. And here and on Route 9 itself you will find more boutiques and gift shops. Measure your taste against Rick's wry humor in Habitu.
Calico is notable for desserts.
And across Route 9 you can find serious eating at the delightful and historic Rhinebeck Inn.
