Main Street Ellicott City really is a wonderful place to spend the day and get presents for your friends and family. The stores are brimming with vintage toys, antique trinkets, one-of-a-kind clothing, candles and so much more. I always want to buy just about everything in the store. The restaurants are amazing too, my favorite being Portallis, a nice Italian restaurant with amazing food! Every time I go there I leave happy!

Ellicott Mills Brewing Company. German style beers brewed on premises. Lunch and dinner specials. Great atmosphere to take a break from shopping and enjoy a brew.
