Wickenden Street (Fox Point)
Wickenden Street
A bohemian little street in Fox Point, with antique shops, independent cafés, and small restaurants lining the sloping road.
Wickenden Street is the main street of the Fox Point neighborhood. It was once home to Portuguese-American dockworkers, and today it is known for antique shops, vintage clothing, independent cafés, and small restaurants. The mood is more relaxed than Thayer Street. The street runs east to India Point Park, and west to the south end of Benefit Street and the John Brown House, so you can link them into a half-day walking loop of the east side. Opening hours vary by shop, and some stores close on Mondays.
