If you're ever in need of a one of kind gift or just looking for some interesting nick knacks then…read moreyou have to stop by Found Studio. This little boutique carries some of the cutest items. Kitschy home decor for every season and holiday, fun cocktail items to stock your home bar, soaps, lotions, and candles from local vendors, eclectic cards to perfectly address every occasion, and many more items. Found Studio screams Baltimore wrapped up in a pretty turquoise building. They offer a decent value for some of these rare items sold here only in Baltimore. And all of the women running the shop are always so pleasant every time I stop in. I tend to make Found Studio my first stop whenever I'm in need of the perfect birthday gift for a friend. You could literally roam around this store finding different goodies at every turn. Pro tip, follow them on IG so you can keep an eye out when they have random sales.

The…read moreformer co-owner Kacey has opened up this spot both as an art gallery and working space for artists and a first floor amazingly curated shop. The space in Hartford Road has been open for a year, but I just found it! There is a mushroom curated wall, and I lost my mind. I often feel like the boutique's here all sell the same things but Found Studio Shop is unique and you can tell BELOVED in the Hamilton community. Annie Howe, the paper cut artist also has a permanent residency here. The price point is from mid to high as it's an excellently curated store with higher end items. If you need to do any shopping, I would come here. It's a perfect place for gifts and cards. So so glad this place exists!

Was excited to visit this store and was hoping it would be a frequent stop/destination moving…read moreforward; unfortunately, I can't imagine I'll be back unless I specifically need one of the ~8 items they sell. From the second I crossed the threshold, an employee was 5 inches from my face offering me a tour (you can see what they sell clearly from the doorway and it is one open space), and then she never left my side. She literally picked up and read greeting cards to me that I had shown zero interest in and without me indicating I wanted a card. She pointed to every single item and told me what it was as if I might have never seen a t-shirt before. No matter where I moved, she followed as if connected to a magnet, and she talked so much I'm not sure how she managed to also breathe. When my husband came in a short while later, I tried to communicate with my eyes that he needed to leave, but another person was 5 inches from him before he understood. She followed the exact same approach and script my leech, I mean salesperson, followed. We'd catch each other's eye and laugh and try to move away from our captors, but they were oblivious and stuck to us like glue. I guess their approach works as we each bought an item just to be able to move and to put a sales desk between us and the people breathing down our backs. Also, the selection is comically bad and limited. The store logo and name is on almost every single item they sell even if a logo makes no sense on it; and the logo is not all that unique or attractive - it is extremely literal. Do you need an entire wardrobe of solid, Crayola-crayon rainbow colored pieces with the store logo on it? They have 30+ identical clothing items in the same 8 garish colors with the store logo HUGE on it at least once. It is like being in a warehouse for kids' sports league uniforms. Maybe your LGBTQ family needs to all match at Disney? If you don't need clothes, you could also get "homemade" cards that look like the creator just learned basic photoshop using free stock photos, has a few favorite fonts and access to AI for weird text. If none of those things interest you, there are overpriced, poor quality socks and identical journals in every color of the rainbow with the store logo on them. Also, randomly, there are shot glasses, with the store logo on them. There are a few rainbow pet toys too and pride parade accessories. Needless to say, I will not be back.

We came for the liquor store, but stayed for lunch at their soda fountain/lunch counter in the back of the store. They have a good selection of whiskey with very good prices. There was minimal price markup between Drug City and if we were to buy direct from a NYC distillery we really like. I really enjoyed my chicken dumpling daily soup special at the soda fountain, but the star of the show was my chocolate peanut butter milkshake. The food in there is simple lunch fare but you cannot beat the prices. they have a long list of seasonings you can add to your potato chips that I want to come back and try more of. Note that purchases from anywhere in the store (not just the liquor section) count towards their rewards program.

I'm a big fan of cinnamon raisin pretzels and was happy to see that theirs didn't come with extra cinnamon sugar on top. They do offer a separate cinnamon sugar pretzel for those who prefer that. The glaze on the cinnamon raisin pretzel was perfect for me. My husband tried the pecan caramel pretzel as well as an original, with a large orangeade. What I appreciated most about the cinnamon raisin pretzel was its freshness and the fact that it wasn't overly sweet. The original pretzel had just the right amount of salt, which was great. We didn't care for the pecan caramel pretzel much. The pecans were a bit too toasted and it lacked caramel. The orangeade was delicious! I'll definitely be returning because the service was great and the quality of the pretzels really stands out. The all-beef pretzel dog is next on my list!
