Best of Rhode Island 2009 Editors' Picks

Vintage shops are always enhanced when they're found in well-maintained vintage buildings. Such is the case with the charming Pigeon Chest. Antique photos line the brick walls, well-seasoned knick-knacks appear in little tableaux scattered around the store, and the big plate glass windows allow for attractive merchandising of what's inside. The store's strong suit, if you will, is the collection of women's dresses and skirts from the sixties and seventies.
