The Marina District

Fodor's Review:

With the city's highest density of (mostly) nonchain stores, the Marina is an outstanding shopping nexus. But it's nobody's secret -- those with plenty of cash and style to burn flood the boutiques to snap up luxe accessories and housewares. Union Street and Chestnut Street in particular cater to the shopping whims of the grown-up sorority sisters and frat boys who live in the surrounding pastel Victorians.
