The Best Shopping in Boston
It’s big, noisy, a touch chaotic, dynamic, a force in academia and easily one of the most classic American cities in the lower 48. Every inch of Boston seems to be entrenched in history and worthy of a story you might hear at the neighborhood pub. The accent, the oysters, the clam ‘chowda’, the perennially winning professional sports teams, all of it amounts to things only this city can claim. You want museums? Institutions of higher learning? Great public parks and green spaces? They got them in bulk here. It’s the kind of city that gets better the longer you’re willing to explore it. Of course, without question, Boston is a shoppers paradise. From every upscale brand, major department store to mom and pop shops that sell items you can’t get anywhere else.
