WHILE YOU’RE IN THE AREA …

The borough of Milford, a couple miles south of Phillips Farms Market, is another place to put on your must-visit map. Not only is Milford home to a few destination-dining/imbibing spots, but a group of Allen’s Antiques shops that are prime foraging grounds for those looking to set their tables and decorate their homes.

ALLEN’S ANTIQUES is housed at 49 Bridge, 38 Bridge and 10 Bridge St. in Milford, separate shops within a couple blocks of each other in the borough. For information on stock and hours, call 908-296-0285; email allenhughes3@gmail.com; or follow on Facebook @AllensAntiquesMilford and Instagram @Allens_Antiques.
