Downtown Spotlight: Pickering Wharf

We’re wrapping up our spotlight on the Pickering Wharf businesses today, and we have learned SO MUCH! 

Over the past few weeks, we managed to highlight 28 storefront businesses currently operating on Pickering Wharf – that’s still only 90%! Extra love to Brodie’s Seaport, Chambers of Terror, and Today Nails, the only Wharf storefronts we didn’t manage to capture with an image that we thought did them justice.  Bottom line – the breadth and depth of business on the Wharf is more substantial than ever!

 

Our spotlight series continues! We had so much fun with our previous #pedmallspotlight, we’ll be spending the next week highlighting the breadth and depth of the awesome businesses on #pickeringwharf. So whether you’re a #hauntedhappenings visitor wondering if the waterfront is worth checking out (it is), or a resident getting ready to #shopsmall in November, follow along to learn some of our “best kept secrets”! #pickeringwharfspotlight #shopsmall #shoplocal #salemmainstreets #salemma

Since it’s also a #treatyourselfsalem Tuesday, we’re kicking this spotlight off with a mocha at @jahocoffee. BUT did you know that Jaho also has a liquor license now? Check out that selection! #siplocal #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma

Did you panic when you saw that @themarblefaunbooksandgifts had disappeared from Essex St? That’s because they moved down to the Wharf to a much bigger space! Now they have room for twice as much literary/cozy/steampunk-y fun! #shopsmall #shoplocal #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma

Not sure where to start when shopping for someone else, or even yourself? @shopoceanchic offers personal shopper services to help you find just the right style and sizes!

After a gloomy rainy day in Salem, this bouillabaisse special at @sealevel_oysterbar seems like it would fit the bill quite nicely. #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma #Repost @sealevel_oysterbar (@get_repost) ・・・ If you were here the other night, you may have seen this special: Bouillabaisse with tuna aioli crostini! 🐟 @sealevel_oysterbar @sealevel_nbpt @octocog . . . . . #sealevel #octocog #salemma #northshorema #boston #cooking #food #restaurant #salemma #foodie #foodstagram #foodgasm #eatfamous #bestfoodworld #foodblogger #streetfood #eatstagram #foodbeast #dailyfoodfeed #buzzfeast #foodandwine #foodphotography #nyceats #feedfeed #northshorema #forkyeah #eatlocal #laeats #oyster

It’s really hard to beat the view from the patio at @victoriastationboathouse, and the weather right now could not be more perfect. Who’s up for playing hooky? #pickeringwharfspotlight #eatlocal #salemmainstreets #salemma

We love that @poppedsalem comes up with new seasonal flavors of popcorn throughout the year! This rainbow variety for Pride was one of our favorites so far. #latergram #pickeringwharfspotlight #eatlocal #salemmainstreets #salemma

Not a knitter or crocheter? @circlestitches has all kinds of great treats and gifts besides yarn and craft supplies…but if you’d like to learn, they also have a ton of awesome classes and support sessions! #morethanyarn #butweloveyarntoo #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma

@thewitcherysalem is the newest addition to #pickeringwharf, transforming the former Hedrington’s into a combination gift shop / performance space. They have some great events coming up tonight and the next few days, tix still available! #tarotexperiment #newbusiness #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma #Repost @thewitcherysalem (@get_repost) ・・・ The Witchery

Partridge in a Bear Tree may be well known for their Christmas ornaments, but the truth is that they have enough whimsy packed into their store to celebrate every season and holiday of the year. The metal fly traps for your garden are our favorites. #eatthosebugs #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemretail #shopsmall #shoplocal #salemmainstreets #salemma

Much like its sister store the @trolleydepot, @salemdipity has a soft spot for all things nerd. Harry Potter and Doctor Who paraphernalia and more await for the superfan in your life. #badwolf #youreawizardharry #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemretail #salemmainstreets #salemma

The @salemwaterfront ‘s Regatta Pub is a beautiful place to grab a quiet moment and a bite – or be right in the thick of things! Tonight, for example, they’ll be hosting some Halloween Karaoke from 7 pm on. #pickeringwharfspotlight #hauntedhappenings #salemmainstreets #salemma

It may be a little cold this weekend to think about being on the water, but it’s not too soon to think about the holidays! @tomostackle offers Christmas layaway so you can splurge on that special fisherperson in your life! #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemretail #shoplocal #salemmainstreets #salemma

Did you know that Joe’s Fish Prints has expanded to include the small storefront across the street for larger printmaking and workshops? It feels like a behind-the-scenes treat every time walk through the door!

One of the best parts of @saleminkma (aside from their incredible tattoo work) is that they double as an art gallery. Note- all the pieces shown here are by Salem Ink tattoo artists! #pickeringwharfspotlight #localart #shopsmall #salemmainstreets #salemma

October may be a busy time for many of our witchcraft shops, but that’s only the beginning. @enchantedsalem is busy with events all year round, such as their Alice in Wonderland Dark Moon Ritual this coming Saturday, Nov. 18. #salemwitches #pickeringwharfspotlight #salemmainstreets #salemma
