What to do and see in Gloucester, Massachusetts (MA): The Best Shopping
With its sandy North Shore beaches, rocky outcrops, green parks, hemlock woods and wild estuaries full of shorebirds, it is no wonder that Gloucester has attracted such a rich and diverse artists' community. Fitz Hugh Lane, Winslow Homer and John Sloan are just some of the artists who have taken inspiration from Gloucester's beautiful surrounds. Still boasting dozens of galleries and boutiques, as well as museums, theaters and an artists' colony, the city's art scene clearly continues to thrive.

I love when I get to taste so many excellent flavored vinegars and oils. Their COVID procedures are quite good and you can still taste. The staff was fantastic, knowledgeable, and kind. And the gift items are lovely too.
