Boston Shopping Tips by mrdarius

Name of Shop: Filene's Basement

This store is at Downtown Crossing, which I consider the center of Boston (intersection of SUmmer/WInter Street and Washington St. Tons of stores and food around here ranging from Chilean food to Bath and Body Works. Great for people watching or grabbing a bite to eat. Pretty seedy later on though...especially Winter Street. I would recommend staying away from there after 10pm.

What To Buy: There's lots of little huts that sell stuff that says "Harvard" or "Boston" on it. Filenes BASEMENT (not upstairs), H&M, Borders, and Payless shoes are where I shop.

Address: Intersection of Winter and Washington Streets.
Directions: MBTA: Park Street for green line, downtown crossing for Orange and Red. Near the Boston Commons, the Financial District, North End, Chinatown, and Faneuil Hall.

Name of Shop: The Globe Corner Bookstore

This place is a must-shop for VT'ers. It's got tons of travel books and other travel materials, including maps and software. Great for browsing and just plopping down on the floor and reading.

What To Buy: Maps. The maps are key. Everything else there you can probably readily find somewhere else, but it's all in one place there.
