Battery Park Book Exchange

Locals’ pick

Two floors of used books arranged like a maze, with a champagne bar tucked right inside the Grove Arcade. It's the definitive Asheville little-world, and you'll lose an afternoon in it without noticing.

Girl And Goblin Locals’ pick

Part oddities shop, part tattoo studio, full of taxidermy and the strange and beautiful. If you like your souvenirs a little dark, this is your stop in West Asheville.

Marquee

A cavernous open-format space packed with booths from local artists, antique dealers, and makers. Give yourself time, because you don't walk this one in ten minutes.

Lexington Glassworks Locals’ pick

A working glassblowing studio on the South Slope where you can watch pieces get made right in front of you, furnace roar and all. Grab a beer, pull up a bench, and stay for the live blowing.
