The Old Town of Kensington is a major shopping destination in the D.C. area for antiques, with a large cluster of antique shops along Antique Row. (http://www.kensingtonanti...) The strip is charming and full of interesting browsing opportunities, from furniture to bric-a-brac to books. To get there, take a right off of Connecticut Ave coming from D.C. after the Knowles Ave intersection onto East Howard Ave. On street parking, as well as shop parking is usually no problem.
