Boston

Hi,

I’m heading off to Boston next week and as is the case I’m just looking for some pointers, tips and the like from anybody that’s been. Also, can anybody tell me what’s the craic with these big Discount Warehouses that I keep hearing about? You know the ones that tend to be outside the big cities that have designer goods at ridiculous prices? Are they any use?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

I lived in Boston for about 3 and a half to 4 months during summer of 2003. Its a fab city. I really loved it there. So clean, and of course full of Irish.

I can't say that I've ever been to those discount stores but if your after clothes check out Filenne's basement for reduded prices on designer labels. Filenne's is on Washington st. get off the subway at Downtown crossing!

The discount goods comes from upstairs from Filenne's. the markdown system works something like this: after 14 days discounted to 25%, 21 days, 50, and so on.

If your after Irish pubs, and there are plenty, check out the Littlest bar on Province st., again get off at Downtown Crossing! Try also McGann's get off the freen line at North Station subway stop.

Also check out touristy spots like Copley Place, Fenway Park, Boston Common, Boston Harbour, Faneuil Hall, and even try make it up to Harvard (on Red Line).

Enjoy your trip and if ya need more info, just ask. I'll do my best. Hope the above helps.
