the center for antiques is probably the finest antique mall i have ever visited. the 2 anchor dealers, max mendlovitz and louis marshall, offer the finest selection of antiques and art in the building. both firms are basically 'mom and pop' operations, but don't let that fool you...these are first class businesses all the way. i would place their respective shops, fan-tastic finds and marshall's brocante, right up there with some of the best shops in the country. other dealers like the respected hugh lackey and jean paris offer a+ crystal, china, collectibles, and silver. beth nixon's booth will leave you drooling on the countertops over the remarkable jewels to be found in her small yet stocked space. if you can overlook the occasional odd or ugly booth, i guarantee this place will be well worth the visit. AAA+++
Pros: quality a+, value a+, selection a+
Cons: occasional bad booth, sparse help available, a tired concept
