Shopping Streets
Buy baubles and beautiful people clothes on Newbury Street, Boylston
Street and in Copley Place. Charles Street is the place for
antiques and art. Find funky bits and crafts around Porter Square in
Cambridge. While you're there, head to Massachusetts Avenue for
books, books and more books.
Faneuil Hall Marketplace is about the best the city has to offer. It has
national chains like Ann Taylor and Crate & Barrel, local stores such as
Celtic Weavers and pushcarts hawking t-shirts and souvenirs. Dedicated to all things
edible is the Quincy Market section.
There is no state tax on clothes. Generally shops are open Monday-Saturday 9 or 10am
to 6 or 7pm. Malls and larger stores also open on Sunday, 12pm-6pm.
