Shop Local in Delaware City

Take Clinton Street at browsing speed. A visit to an independent shop can lead to a conversation, a work of local art or a discovery you did not set out to find.

A Clinton Street shopping outing

Look at the directory before arriving and choose the shops that interest you. Many downtown addresses sit along Clinton Street, so you can browse in either direction and finish at Battery Park. Follow posted parking rules and check each shop's hours; a quiet storefront does not necessarily mean it has closed permanently.

  1. Choose a starting shop

    Past to Present Resale at 108 Clinton Street and Studio 118 at 118 Clinton St #123 are options toward the higher-numbered part of this downtown selection.

  2. Browse toward the river

    Look for Delaware City Trading Co. at 62 Clinton Street and Artworth Creations at 36 Clinton Street. Use current shop details rather than assuming the same opening times.

  3. Make a second stop

    Add a meal or sweet treat and a waterfront pause. This is an outing idea, not a measured route or a promise that every shop is open.

Local art, prints and creative visits

Artworth Creations is an art gallery at 36 Clinton Street. The gallery’s own site offers prints across subjects including landscapes, abstract art and nature, and advertises paint-and-sip parties. Visit the business directly for current artwork and party arrangements rather than relying on a fixed class schedule here.

A gallery stop pairs naturally with the historic architecture around you. If art is your main interest, check ahead so you can plan your visit around the gallery rather than arriving outside its hours.

Resale, specialty shops and everyday needs

Past to Present Resale adds changing resale finds to a downtown visit. The full shop category also includes a downtown market—useful when planning a picnic or picking up supplies. Product ranges change, so ask the individual shop about gifts, antiques or specialty items before making a special trip.

These alphabetical listings use the approved directory's address and phone records. Listings without both details remain in the complete directory rather than receiving guessed contact information here.

Support more than one local stop

The best shopping plan leaves room for discoveries. Explore the full directory, not just the businesses pictured here, and pair browsing with local dining or the historic walk. For a morning-to-evening outing, use the day-trip guide.
