Edgartown Paper Store is not actually a paper store. Instead, the little corner store off Main Street in Edgartown is more like a variety store in the heart of the shopping district. You can find convenience items like toiletries, comfort items like candy and cigarettes and souvenirs like postcards. The property is hard to miss, as it is one of the few corner-facing storefronts and is flanked by a few benches and trashcans. There is plenty of room to sit down, take a load off, have a soft drink, or a bite to eat or just to quickly pick up the odds and ends you can't otherwise find on Main Street.
