Tourist Trap: The Bearskin Neck shopping...
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Bearskin Neck shopping district has fallen off in quality over the years. People who come looking for world-class art galleries will be disappointed to find several galleries have gone out of business only to be replaced by souvenir shops. They're pretty schlocky places, but if you want stuff with lighthouses and lobsters on it or tacky t-shirts, you'll be OK. This is NOT to say that you should avoid a visit to Bearskin Neck, however. It's a very pleasant stroll indeed, especially when you get to the Helmut's Strudel shop at the end of the Neck. The baked goods at Helmut's are dynamite, and this is the only place on the Neck that has a restroom!
