Daytrip Society

The brainchild of former NYC music industry execs and born-again Mainers Jessica Jenkins and Andy West, this smart three-story shop on Dock Square stocks eclectic gifts, guides, and gear, and souvenirs devoted to travel and the great outdoors. The store is full of fun eye candy, as well as practical items, with an amazing selection of high design (and recycled) products—Raeburn Ink bags, Paul Thomas melamine plates, and modern camp-wear like Patagonia’s durable Atom Pack with special pockets for iPods. The biggest ticket item: Dutch Jorg & Olif bicycles.
