 | Cambridge Shopping | Tips 1 - 10 of 29 |  |
Because of its great literary history - writers such as Henry James, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, e.e. cummings and many more have strong connections with Cambridge - and large student population, Cambridge actually boasts more bookstores per capita than any other city in the world. Over 20 bookstores can be found in and around Harvard Square alone so if you don't have time to visit them all, I suggest stopping by the Harvard Book Store. The used books section dowstairs is really worth looking at as you are sure to make some great finds at a great price. They also have a remainders section (new books at great discount prices) and of course you'll have no problem finding great classics or best-sellers!
Instead of buying some cheesy souvenir, why not get a book by one of the many great and legendary Boston area authors?
There are really great discounts on used books Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: 1256 Massachusetts Avenue, CambridgePhone: 617-661-1515Directions: Harvard SquareWebsite: www.harvard.com Other Contact: info@harvard.com.

Newbury Comics started as a comic store, but is now known more for it's vast CD collection, along with wacky toys, posters, and other bric-a-brac. Always a good time and great prices. The staff is very smart in all things music related. Plus I love their logo!

This place is not for the feint at heart and certainly not for anyone too vanilla. Cambridge use to be home to the biggest and best goth/industrial/80s/gay/fetish club in the Boston area and Hubba Hubba dressed the patrons.
Located on Mass Ave in Central Square, one can find anything from latex and vinyl corsets to thigh-high boots and crinoline skirts. Punks, goths and rivetheads alike did most of their shopping here and it was always the stop to hit if in need of a last-minute clothing decision before the club opened as it was only a block away. Hubba Hubba also has a small area of sexual devices of all makes, models, sizes and shapes.

Harvard Book Store is one of the best independent book stores we've come across on our US travels, with an impeccable selection of history and politics books in particular. They've marked the shelves so that students can easily spot the books they need for core courses, but there's far more here than just the required reading. They also have an excellent fiction section, as well as their famed discount selection downstairs, but what really marks this place out, on every visit, is the friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable staff, who really invest themselves in the store.
Since we buy plenty of books, we've benefited, too, from their frequent buyer program, well worth signing up for.
Check out the basement for reasonabley priced used books - fiction, text books, and much, much more!
They are competitive on new book prices: please, go here instead of one of the chain stores!

We don't like shopping, especially at malls. But one of the more interesting malls around is the Cambridgeside Galleria. I find it way less boring than the typical surburban mall.
It has over 120 stores, department stores and boutiques. Best Buy, Borders, Sears, and Filenes are some examples.
I'm not too knowledgable on the quality of the stores. I do like the urban setting and the great food!
Outside of the mall, the Charles River Boat Company offers tours departing daily .
Restaurants include The Cheesecake Factory, Papa Razzi and California Pizza Kitchen.
Mall Hours:
Mon-Sat: 10am-9:30pm
Sun: 11am-7pm Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: CambridgeSide Galleria offers a free shuttle service to and from the MBTA Kendall Square T Stop. The bus runs every 20 minutes during operating hours. The route picks up and drops off at CambridgeSide Galleria.Website: http://www.cambridgesidegalleria.com/

Cambridge is not the best shopping destination in New England, but Cambridgeside Gallery collects most of the chain stores under a single roof. Quite easily accessible from downtown Boston, too, the Gallery offers an easy way to browse through the basic stuff and offers.
There is a plenty of clothing stores, some shoe stores, Wolf Camera, Borders bookstore (pretty well stocked, by the way), the usual widget stores, and a food garden. There is a good sushi bar and California Pizza Kitchen is also a good choice for food, especially when travelling with children. Leave a Comment

This busy mall is at near the intersection of Memorial Drive and the McGrath Highway. It contains all of our favorite store - Apple Store, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Victoria Secret, H&M (women's clothes only), Old Navy, Gap, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Best Buy, and much, much more. Plus, when you are tired of shopping the food court, Starbucks, and Cheesecake Factory are there to get you fueled up for more shopping.

Cardullo’s is a real Harvard Square institution, the place to get some odd-ball Swedish cracker, the chocolate you crave from England, an exotic tea combination or some of the best olives in the area. The stock has grown to fill every corner of the store, and the aisles are made for the fairly slim (ironically, given the rich products that are to be found hiding un there). You might have to search around for a while to get exactly what you want, but you can be sure you’ll find at least five other things you desperately need along the way. They also do exceptionally tasty sandwiches, stacked full of the deli ingredients arrayed along one side of the store; you’ll have to cart your masterpiece away, however, unless you manage, in the nicer weather, to snag one of the two outdoor tables.
You can search their website to see if they have what you want! Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkAddress: 6 Brattle StPhone: 617-491-8888Directions: Just off Harvard Square on Brattle Street.Website: www.cardullos.com

My absolute favorite store in Harvard Square - of course, since it's a bookstore related to travel, that's not much of a surprise. if you love to travel, this store is heaven! They sell guidebooks, maps, globes, atlases, picture books and travel literature related to every corner of the planet.
Guidebooks and maps to help you plan your next trip...travel essays to keep you dreaming...or a copy of "1000 Places to See Before you Die" for inspiration.
$5-$500, depending on what and how much you want. Some of the top end globes are quite expensive, but beautiful. Leave a Comment Theme: BooksAddress: **Moving!**Phone: 617-497-6277Directions: Unfortunately, they're in the process of moving from 28 Church Street to 90 Mt. Auburn Street (at the corner of JFK). As of 3/31/06 the building was not quite finished. I'll keep you updated! (or check http://www.globecorner.com/store.html for updates).Website: www.globecorner.com
