5 Green Boxes
Vintage, jewelry and odd small things, right off the Great Hall
The Union Station outpost of a South Pearl Street original, and the shop to duck into when your train is forty minutes out. It mixes one-off vintage pieces with new jewelry, bags, cards, and small home things, arranged tight enough that browsing takes ten minutes and turns up something you did not plan on. Prices run wide, so it works both for a five-dollar card and a proper present. Open until nine on Friday and Saturday, later than most of the station's retail.
Why go. The one souvenir in Union Station that does not say Denver on it.
Look at the vintage jewelry case near the back; the one-off pieces move fast and are not restocked.
