Shop shuffle in Old Port

In the past month, a number of my favorite storefronts have packed up their bags and moved to new digs. Here are a few of the highlights.

Aucocisco Galleries

Aucocisco Galleries is now settled into the spot previously occupied by the Daniel Kany Gallery. Since I walk by this window at 89 Exchange Street almost daily, I'm thrilled to have the chance to check out this majestic Bernard Langlais sculpture every time I pass. The gallery also puts on an awesome reception for every First Friday Art Walk.

Puzzles & Games Etc

Down the street a bit, near the intersection of Exchange and Fore, Puzzles & Games Etc has moved into a new shop at 299 Fore Street. (It used to be on Wharf Street.) This is an excellent place to pick up a fun board game or a puzzle before you head out to camp. It's also a great spot to buy gifts for those hard to shop for people.

Old Port Wine Merchants

With the warm weather here, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a bottle of wine. If you're looking to pick up some at Old Port Wine Merchants, you'll want to know it's moved from Fore Street to 223 Commercial Street. Should you need buying advice or want to try something new, proprietor Jacques deVillier is always happy to help. And while I don't know the first thing about stogies, the shop has a big walk-in humidor and what I hear is an excellent selection of cigars.
