In fact, the town’s quaint shopping district is just a short walk from your home. Whether you’re looking for a gift, a bag of coffee, or a new pair of pants, you’ll find what you need in downtown Frenchtown. If you’ll be moving to the area soon, these tips will help you shop like a local. ## Hit the Shops Early on Weekends On weekends, Frenchtown can become a little busier as tourists arrive to shop, dine or just enjoy the small-town ambiance. While tourism dollars are certainly welcome, longer lines can be a little frustrating if you just want to enjoy a leisurely lunch at the [Frenchtown Café](https://thefrenchtowncafe.com/) or pick up the latest bestseller from the [Frenchtown Bookshop](https://bookshop.org/shop/FrenchtownBookshop). Arriving at your favorite store or restaurant at their opening time will help you avoid the rush. If you don’t mind waiting to finish your shopping, the stores are usually less busy about one to 1 ½ hours before closing.  ### Do a Little Research You can’t always tell a lot about a book from its cover, and you might not be able to figure out what a store sells based on its name alone. Before you head out for your first trip to the shops, do some research and take a look at the list of businesses on the [Frenchtown Business and Professional Association’s website](https://lovefrenchtown.org/). The list includes a brief description of every store. Don’t forget to check the store’s website for hours, as some stores may close one or two days during the week. ## Visit Often Unlike chain stores, the shops and boutiques in Frenchtown offer a constantly changing selection of unique merchandise. If you only visit occasionally, you might miss out on the ideal gift for your mom at [Modern Love](https://shopmodernlove.com/) or the perfect dress at [River Gypsy](https://rivergypsynj.com/). ## Keep Up with Your Favorite Store or Restaurant on Social Media  Many Frenchtown stores and restaurants use Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms to share new products or menu items with their customers. When you follow local businesses, you’ll also get advance notice of special sales, promotions, and events.  Some stores sell items online in addition to their brick-and-mortar locations. If your busy schedule prevents you from getting to a particular store, you may be able to order what you need online. ## Stock Up on Gifts Do you struggle to find the perfect gifts for the people in your life?
