Shopping has always been a favorite of mine (I am sure you are shocked). I am always on the lookout for new boutiques or places to shop where I can get one of a kind, unique pieces. Plus, shopping local and supporting local businesses is important to me as well!
While Downtown York is growing and thriving, there are still a lot of people that have yet to pound the pavement in the city.
To make the hunt easy for you, I’ve created a Downtown York shopping guide, which includes all of the must-stop shopping destinations.
