The eye-catching sculptures visible from the roadside only hint at the vast spectacle inside what bills itself as America's largest Asian art store—customers include the Smithsonian and the Hell's Angels Clubhouse. Carvings of every conceivable material (from wood to whalebone), size (from half an inch to 8 feet tall), and subject matter (albeit heavy on the gods and dragons) can be found here (or made to order and shipped). The sheer volume of art outstrips many museums, but you can still buy a traditional sarong or a gift from the $5 shelves. Humorous signs throughout the store add a touch of character.

This store's 239-year streak of continual operation ended in 2011, when it closed for the first time since the 1770s. In addition to being a gift shop and small market for fresh fruits and cheeses, its reincarnation doubles as a café, with a large wooden table and benches where you can have breakfast, fancy baked goods, or just coffee.
