So many stores! We had a great time exploring all the shops with antiques, vintage clothing, artwork and unique gifts.

After about 8 years, I went back to Antique Row in Kensington while waiting for my car, having its annual oil filter change, a tune-up, and the brakes repaired and flushed at Quality Discount Tire and Auto on the industrial side of Howard Ave. There's still the usual antique fare, and I was very glad to see that two of my favorite, non-antique shops survived the pandemic -- artist Shara's shop (her cool, large and small wire and/or yarn sculptures are just outside the entrance to a small inside mall of different shops...hers is the first on the left) with her affordable abstract pallet knife figure paintings, jewelry, mixed media pieces, wire mesh sculpture and other lamp shades, painted glass light fixtures, etc.; and a home accessories shop a bit down the road. There's also another non-antique shop with women's clothing and accessories a little past those two shops along the street where I was also successful in purchasing a few items. And, I also browsed and bought a set of new red chopsticks and a delicate chopstick rest at an oriental art boutique across and down from Shara's shop...some beautiful lithographs, paintings, wood carvings, pottery, and other pieces from Japan and some other countries as well. And then there's the quaint gourmet-ish deli shop and market Karlee's with outdoor seating under a long white wood awning with hanging faux flowers and tiny flashing lights that twinkle along with contemporary but some years old soft rock and pop music. There's also outside heaters which were temporarily used during that recent early-afternoon chill. I had the pastrami with pickle chips and tasty dressing on ciabatta bread sandwich, which was delicious. Antique Row is a great little gem to enjoy for a few hours by yourself or with out-of-town guests who like antiques, artsy shops, women's clothing and accessories, and artisanal casual dining. Definitely worth a visit.

I encountered the rudest lady working today. Will not come back!

I called this store to inquire if they only sold antique furniture or if they also did appraisals. The lady that answered was very snappy and her response was what do you have in a very rude way. Her tone caught me off guard, and within 2 seconds she disconnected the call before I could say anything else.. will be taking my business elsewhere. Wow.

Very enjoyable browsing. Interesting items and people. Take time to converse with the sellers, they just know so much about the items.

Living in the DC suburbs I've been going to Antique Row for 25 years, however sporadically because I'm embarrassed to say I often forget it is there. Every time I do remember to go I wonder why I don't make it more of a habit. It has just about everything collectible, even though the prices can be more than pedestrian. It's changed a bit over the years, and has gone from traditional old stuff more to mod and vintage. One of my favorite haunts is Georgina’s G&G Antiques at 3776 Howard Ave, who has cases and counters full of interesting smalls (I relish the old political buttons). I usually go on the weekend, when there is shady and free parking across the street at the train station.

Spotted this cluster of antique shops while riding the Amtrak into DC and I scored some finds here. Worth an hour or two visit.
