No trip to Boston would be complete without a stop at Filene's. This is a major department store located in the heart of Boston which features all the well-known brands. It is most famous, though, for its basement, a discount store in itself with genuine bargains. For the big designer names such as DKNY and Chanel try Newbury Street which contains all the exclusive names. There are also plenty of smaller shops and boutiques to explore particularly in nearby Cambridge. If Boston has one shopping speciality, though, it is probably its bookstores. It has all the major book chains as well as scores and scores of independent, more quirky shops. Most Boston stores open from 9 am until 6 pm and many open late on Thursdays. Please note, if buying clothing, that there is a 5% tax added on items priced higher than $175. Department Stores Filenes. 426 Washington Street Macy's. 450 Washington Street Saks Fifth Avenue.
