The Unofficial Guide and Boston Apparel Co Present:
Thing #24 To Do in Boston: Shop on Newbury St
Better have more than $20 in your pocket.
Shopping on Newbury Street, Boston’s version of Fifth Avenue, will surely remind you that you’re a broke-ass college student. Many of the stores on Newbury Street are more intimidating than going to your professor’s office hours. They’re the type of stores that have four things on display at a time, and none of them cost less than $5,000. And no, Chanel does not offer financial aid.
Admittedly, there are some stores more within the college student budget that are definitely worth checking out. There are your typical, chain stores: American Apparel, Anthropologie, Timberland,
Forever 21, H&M, Nordstrom Rack. And then there are some smaller, funky boutiques, like LIT on Newbury and No Rest For Bridget. There are also many cafes, salons, art galleries, and, of course, the flagship Newbury Comics store. In fact, Newbury Street is brimming with all kinds of stores, tucked away in beautiful brownstones.
Window shop, people watch, and wander into any store or gallery that catches your eye. Don't know what to wear to fit the Newbury St vibe? Throw on your college gear and you'll be sure to blend right in! Be sure to skip the over-priced, mediocre restaurants that dot the street. Instead, make a stop at Georgetown Cupcakes. After a long day of shopping, you deserve a treat. May we suggest the Salted Caramel or Mint Cookies & Creme?
