This is excellent information. I like the idea of people watching and want to check out the stores. I will check out Newberry St, it is very close to where we will be. I am printing your responses to take with me.</p> <p>Thanks!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-boston#post-27830 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 14:29:30 +0000 Tanya 27830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Eva, a Boston shopper checking in :)</p> <p>Nicole has given you some great info. There are actually two connected malls there: Prudential and Copley. I believe that this is the nicest mall in the city. I refer to the combo of two, I always forget which is which. Both of them have directories online so you can google them and find out the lists. There are a lot of upscale stores: Gucci, Armani, etc. and department stores like Saks, Neiman Marcus, Barneys. There are also more normal stores like Gap, BR, AT, ATL, J Crew. And there are my favorites, stores like Mango, Club Monaco, Benetton, BCBG, French Connection, Armani Exchange. There is a also a famous lingerie store ( Intimacy) known for their bra fittings where you can find Chantelle bras. There is an AF store very close by the mall.</p> <p>Nicole is spot on about Newberry street, It's a mixture of designer&#38;regular stores like above, but there are a lot of boutiques, both local, and some New York chains ( Intermix, Calypso etc). Finally, places I wouldn't miss there are a big Zara, nice H&#38;M and a local favorite Filene's Basement. Not right on the street but close by is an Anthropologie store.</p> <p>Another shopping area that's popular, but not nearly as upscale is Downtown crossing - two T stops from Newberry. It used to have the oldest and original Filene's Basement; but that's been closed ( should reopen at some point). What they do have is Macy's, another H&#38;M, discount stores like Marshalls, T J Maxx ( this one has the runway section) and DSW.</p> <p>Finally, another mall I am very familiar with is in Cambridge ( still just a few train stops away), called Galleria. It's a nice mall, but nothing as upscale as Pru. It also has BR, J Crew, Club Monaco, Benetton etc. It has the third ( and final) H&#38;M in the Boston area and a Canadian store called Jacob, this is their only location in the whole US. I really love that store, it's like a Canadian version of BR ( more affordable than Club Monaco).</p> <p>Whew, this was a lot I hope you'll find it helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-boston#post-27821 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:59:17 +0000 Nicole 27821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Eva, Tanya and Shiny can give you the best advice about where to shop in Boston. The Pru Center Mall has some good stores though. It's been a while since I've been, but I beleive they have a Club Monaco, Lord and Taylor and a Saks. (they have the regulars too like Ann Taylor, the Loft and Talbots).</p> <p>But what you gotta hit is Newbury Street. There are like 8 city blocks of high end stores, boutiques, salons and restaurants. Its fun just to people watch if nothing else. Even if it's outside your budget, it's fun to walk into a designer shop and look at $2,000 dresses.</p> <p>Here's a link that shows a map of the neighborhood. If you mouse over the red squares on the map, it tells you what the shop is and the actual address:</p> <p><a href="http://www.newbury-st.com/Boston/60/Womens_Fashion/1/2#surrounding" rel="nofollow">http://www.newbury-st.com/Bost.....urrounding</a></p> <p>Hynes Convention Center is on Boylston Street, which runs parallel to Newbury Street. You should be able to walk there. Bring your camera and wear comfy shoes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/shopping-boston#post-27817 Fri, 26 Sep 2008 12:04:46 +0000 Eva 27817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will be on a business trip in Boston for a few days next week and I should have a bit of time to shop. I see that there is a place called Shops at Prudential Center near the Hynes Conventer center, where I will be. Is this a good place to shop? Can anyone give me shopping suggestions? (I see there is an Anne Fontaine close so I should check out what everyone is talking about!) </p>
