The final Gallery Hop of the year is always one of the most special, as the whole district turns festive for Holiday Hop, and local boutiques, stores and shops attract customers from all over the region looking for gift ideas in addition to the usual fix of arts and entertainment. If you’re planning on heading to Holiday Hop today, here’s six places you might want to check out. And as always, feel free to add more ideas in the comments section below!
Holiday Shop at The Garden Theater
The Garden Theater is playing host to the 2014 Holiday Hop Pop-Up Shop where dozens of arts and crafts vendors are selling all types of wares that make great holiday gifts. There’s also a bar and a gift-wrapping station to boot! CLICK HERE for more info.

Shop at Milk Bar One Last Time
Milk Bar announced yesterday that they’re closing up shop at the end of the year, which means this is their final Gallery Hop, ever. Stop by, pick up some of the final sales, and say goodbye to the owners as they embark on new endeavors. CLICK HERE for more info.
Grab a Bite at Black Point
The new Black Point restaurant on the cap is certainly a place where you can drop some money on a fancy steak dinner, but as our recent review points out, you can also dine there cheaper with $10 surf and turf tacos and other affordable options. CLICK HERE for more info.
Try a Cocktail at Ethel’s Bar
The newest watering hole in the Short North is the revamped Stage Left Lounge at the Garden Theater, now known as Ethel’s Bar. With a focus on cocktails and live entertainment, this might be the perfect place to end your night out tonight. CLICK HERE for more info.
