Hydrostone Market
Hydrostone Market Review
The block-long Hydrostone Market lures shoppers to the city's North End with all sorts of one-of-a kind items. Flattened by the Halifax Explosion in 1917, the area was rebuilt as a charming garden-style neighborhood using hydrostone—aka concrete. Shops of particular note include The Bogside Gallery (902/453-3063) for fine crafts; Lady Luck for jewelry and accessories (902/444-3050); and Rusty Hinges (902/406-1056) for household goods, many of them handmade from architectural salvage. After browsing, break for lunch at Epicurious Morsels (902/455-0955) or grab "gourmet to go" at Little Europe (902/407-7700).
