Joseph Finkle & Sons

This throwback deems itself “The World’s Most Unusual Hardware Store,” and it may actually live up to the claim. Stocked floor-to-ceiling with pretty much everything ­related to plumbing, electrical work, painting or tools — including all those impossible-to-find products — the ­family-owned Lambertville emporium (80 years and counting) boasts folks who’ll walk you through whatever you need for any home project — in a setting oozing with authentic general-store charm. Try finding that at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
