antiques, now and later - View this location on map

This shopping district is called antique row. antique stores, not surprisingly, are in abundance -- like classic antiques ( 215-629-0211) -- but the last decade has also brought tiny shops selling eclectic and intriguing artwork that, while it may be an antique someday, isn't even close yet. check out the colorful glass insects and a table made of a giant chinese restaurant carton in sota spirit of the artist (1022 pine street, 877-768-2123). grab a pastry to go from a local bakery and eat it in the vest-pocket park dedicated to louis i. kahn, philadelphia's favorite estonian-born architect, and recently the subject of a warts-and-all documentary film, ''my architect.''
