2 / SCALLOPS
Scallops Minerals and Shells Emporium is
just steps off Market Square but far from
the madding crowd. This 13-year-old shop
specializes in nature’s namesake treasures,
fossils and jewelry, sourced from various
corners of the world. Susan Hickey continues a family tradition of collecting and
retailing shells and minerals, though she
has distinguished herself from her parents’ business by giving the inventory a
metaphysical bent. In addition to offering
healing and spirituality products, Scallops
sponsors intuitive readings several times
weekly. 65 Daniel St.; 603-431-7658;

3 / LEROUX KITCHEN
Does shopping for kitchenware stimulate
your appetite? At LeRoux Kitchen, gourmands can get inspired by the equipment
and sated by the snacks. The shop, part
of a small empire founded by April and
Michael Levandowski, features gourmet
popcorns and chocolates, specialty pastas,
and oils and vinegars whose complex flavor profiles will expand your definition of
condiments. The kitchenware is even more
extensive, and ranges from grilling utensils
and countertop appliances to an array of
Le Creuset cookware and bakeware. 23

4 / G. WILLIKERS! TOY SHOP
Delighting children for almost 40 years,
G. Willikers is young at heart. The Portsmouth destination also is an old soul, as its
games and books are chosen with an eye
to developmental support and educational
integrity. Work with a member of the knowledgeable, devoted staff to find just the right
memento. Or, if you’re traveling with kids in
tow, let them loose—the store encourages
play and hosts regular events. 13 Market
St.; 603-436-7746; gwillikers.com
5 / KENNEDY GALLERY AND
CUSTOM FRAMING
Portsmouth residents have relied on Kennedy Gallery and Custom Framing to protect and display their works of art for 20
years. The art exhibits that owner Wendy
Clement has woven through the storefront
should appeal to the culture lover who’s
just passing through, as well. The space
has shown technically rigorous panoramas by local photographer John Dunkle,
the watercolors of Maine artist Bill Paarl-berg, and Beaman Cole’s oil paintings of
Portsmouth life. The expressionistic landscapes of Patricia S. Gordon and Christopher Volpe, among others, are on regular
display, while giclée prints, candles, and
replica maps make for more affordable
souvenirs. 41 Market St.; 603-436-7007;
