Hot Hints from Boston's Best: Sensational Shopping

LLNE Members recommend:

Nearby supermarkets :

Trader Joe’s, 899 Boylston Street (right across from the convention center)
Shaws, 53 Huntington Ave.

Best places for clothes shopping:

Marshall ’s 500 Boylston Street and Filene’s Basement Downtown Crossing (T: Downtown Crossing, Red line)

Best source of knowledgeable, friendly people to talk to about fountain pens: Bob Slate Stationer 63 Church Street, Cambridge, 547-7181

Best used bookstore: Boston Book Annex. Go after sangria, buy more. 906 Beacon Street, Brookline (T: St. Mary's, Green line C train)

Best selection of remainders: Harvard Book Store. Go after a burger, you will need your strength. (T: Harvard, Red line)

Best paper selection: Paper Source. Their motto is “do something creative everyday.” 338 Boylston St. (T: Arlington, Green line)

Best source for fun, inexpensive, last minute gifts Black Ink, 101 Charles St., 723-3883 (T: Arlington, Green line)

A women’s clothing store called JMiles, located at 340 Huron Ave. in Cambridge (T: Harvard, Red line, then the # 72 bus and a short walk from the Fayerweather St. stop). It’s a smallish store and definitely not cheap, but if you need to be as appropriately dressed as if you were wearing a tailored suit but hate tailored suits, this is the store to shop in. If you have an interview coming up, they will suggest outfits (if you wish) that will make a great impression. They have more casual clothes too. I love everything I’ve bought there.

Recommended by an LLNE member.

Within walking distance of the Convention Center, within a 15-20 minute walk. Those near a train station include the station name. Click on the train station name to open a new window for T directions from the convention center.
