11AM - 11PM
1 Bow Mkt Wy, Somerville“Bow Market is a Somerville gem. A great place to meet up with friends, grab some drinks, and even a nice dinner. There are a bunch of awesome smol shops there with tasty and eclectic offerings. Make sure to try Saus, especially if you're veg.”
“I love this mall, we go at least once a week. Grassfields is kinda expensive, but really good. I usually eat there once a year. But the plaza has USPS full serve Post Office, as well as FedEx, The Paper Store (always great finds) Dunkies ( my go to) as well as BK( that location treats us well), TJ Maxx (they change there products pretty regularly), a dry cleaner, dentist, and a liquor store ( I don't drink..sorry- but my inlaws like it, well enough). Oh yeah a hairdresser, my mother in law frequents, Verizon, AAA with a full service license service if you HAVE Triple A, was worth it for me!, and a small bank. Think I got them all.. lol.”
“It's a nice mall. Very modern. There's stuff for everyone, of all ages. Most things are pretty expensive but there's some stores that aren't as bad. However, it's usually really crowded. I wanted to sit down on a couch thing, and there was no room at all. The rest of the mall isn't much better. I've had to dodge people ti avoid crashing multiple times. It gets a 4 from me because there's a lot of cool stores.”
10AM - 12AM
3rd Ave, Burlington“Really really great service and friendly people. The bowling technology here is insanely advanced, like the bumpers only come up for who wants them which for me with kids was really nice because usually it's not really a challenge or fun for me with bumpers or not fun for them without them. The prices are good and reasonable ? please build one in Maine, we have an abandoned bowling alley which is maintained by a car dealership in my town Saco.”
“This an outdoor mall. It has 4 restaurants and numerous shops including a large Talbot's, an Eileen Fischer Company Store, a J Crew Com.Store and a Carter's company store. They also host food trucks and outdoor activities in the summer. The Bundt bakery store is here too”
9:30AM - 9PM
65 Main St, Stoneham“It's a nice small shopping area. Few restaurants, can shop for clothes for all ages, there's a pet shop, there's Target, Michaels, and CVS in the vicinity. Enough parking spaces. Just be careful of buses and motorcycles there”
8AM - 9PM
Great Rd, Bedford“Good variety of shops and places to eat. Unless you go in the main entrance, there are a lot of restricted turn exits which can be confusing! We primarily go here for whole foods, but we have gone to a few other places here.”
10AM - 9PM
181 Linden St, Wellesley“The new Oath Pizza is very good. Best of all.
Also Roch Brother supermarket is nearby, and young teenagers are very helpful with packaging and carrying or picking up the carts.”
Open 24 hours
192 Worcester St, Natick“I went to the ups store and had great service. As well as the dollar tree store in the same shopping plaza. Great selection at dollar tree and it's a huge store compared to their other locations”
“This plaza has a Market Baster, an upscale restaurant, a medium restaurant a fast food restaurant, a liquor store, a Nordstrom Rack, an Old Navy and a DSW. Pretty much one stop shopping.”
Open 24 hours
15 Hampshire St, Cambridge“Kendall Square is a collection of imposing buildings housing mostly Biotech companies. Marriott is located close to the T Station. Saliently located on the Red line and close to Boston downtown”
7AM - 10PM
33 Boylston St, Chestnut Hill“This place is adorable! They have little games and sitting areas outside! We checked out shake shack and it was delicious! They also have legal seafood over here which is a must try!!”
“Visited Wegmans. Parked near the Beer and Liquor entrance. Elevator to the subterranean main store. Packed with goods but so dismal. Clearly no daylight. Depressing settings.”
“Great little shopping mall with a nice variety of shops. Large grocery store in Star Market, convenient CVS and Target for almost anything else you'd need, plus a wonderful liquor store and book store. Heck, the Michaels even has some model kits.”
“Very new and renovated. I'm not sure if the old mall layout was better or this outside walk around thing. Still lots of new restaurants and some stores here.”
10AM - 9PM
720 Memorial Dr, Cambridge“MicroCenter is an electronic paradise. A computer super store in Cambridge with an actual parking lot. Although my appearance may give the impression that I don't rock with the crowd there, I absolutely love shopping there. People who work there are so polite and knowledgeable. I've built several computers over the years, and now I drop in with my sons. Their is also a Trader Joe's in the parking lot and a Starbucks. Starbucks crowd at this particular location is not my cup of tea. Microcenter also matches competitors' pricing. I can not say enough of good things about this store.”
Open 24 hours
211 Alewife Brook Pkwy, Cambridge“You know, I'm at that age where I can't afford cheap furniture anymore. When my elderly parents visit I have to have comfortable stuff. I have back problems so I need a couch that I won't get stuck in. My son is more than 10 years old so I'm not as worried about grape juice or vomit ruining things. So I buy key pieces of furniture from this place when I can. The sales people are enormously friendly and attentive, more than one has offered to come to our house to measure spaces for us - and even to ensure a piece of furniture will fit through the front door. That's the kind of service I need at this time in my life. Plus, there are a lot of good looking pieces to choose from.”
“Coolest place you'll find on a hot day! We visit family when we're here from the Midwest, and MB is our "go-to" grocery! ...try their make-as-you-wait custom cubs!”
“I was looking for a simple casual sun dress with no luck. So then I wanted a tank top that was nicer than a plain cotton one...nope didnt have that either. Very dissapointed.”
“Basically, have only visited and eaten, for family holidays when visiting from NYC or California, at the Mandarin Court Chinese Restaurant, which its cuisine spectacularly delicious ?????Highly recommend it.Unfortunately, as for the rest of the Shops, have no knowledge of them.Perhaps, nice too???”
“If you can't agree on where to go for food with friends, this plaza has multiple great options. Parking is rough during peak hours, though there are always spots you may have to park farther away from where you want to go. If you go here, take note of the back entrance which can help avoid the traffic near the main entrance.”
9AM - 9:30PM
165 Needham St, Newton Highlands“Nice small open air shopping center with food, groceries, clothes, etc. Nice place to walk around and enjoy the businesses nearby. (While it is upkept well during snow, its still probably better to visit an indoor place during heavy snow and extreme cold)”
“Basic busy strip mall with Whole Foods, McDs, Staples, TJ Maxx etc. Directly across from another strip mall with CVS, Trader Joes, etc. So convenient. Crowded but parking is available.”
“Awesome area to shop in! There are plenty of nice places to shop and eat. This place is sort of tucked away off of I95 on Needham Street/Highland Avenue. Five Guys Burgers is in this area, too! Stop and Shop has a nice little "healthy" super market where you can buy lots of healthy foods. There are also auto parts shops and a couple of Jiffy Lube type places to have your oil changed. This is an "upscale" area as is all of Newton/Needham. The only issue is the massive road construction on Highland Avenue. It is a MAJOR PROBLEM!!! I have no idea when they are supposed to complete the project, but, the road is almost impassable. It really is in awful shape due to the construction. We can only hope and pray that when it is finally completed, that they will COMPLETEY REPAVE this road (Highland Avenue) so it is paved with fresh, new sparkling clean asphalt. How refreshing that would be for the people who live, work and shop in this area.”
“It’s a lot better than it used to be, mostly full with stores, and yet I miss papa Gino’s. Without Whole Foods, not sure it would exist. Somehow still feels empty, and exiting the plaza is often a harrowing experience as route 3 is busy and the exit blindish.”
“In this plaza there are three eating establishments: Nana 7 a hibachi / Asian cuisine, a Mooyah burgers, Chipotle. Market Basket, Lincoln Liquors, a Credit union. The Paper store which sells cards and gift items including Alex& Annie, Vera Bradley and clothing items. JoAnn Fabric/ craft, Massage Envy. A Circle health walk in clinic . Billerica Medical Physicians. Ample parking in front and rear of plaza. Access from Treble Cove Rd.,or Boston Rd.(Rt.3A).”
10AM - 9PM
51 Linden St, Waltham“I purchased bath and kitchen faucets here 4 years ago and loved the selection and service. Went last week to see if I could get a new dining room light on sight. The receptionist was very professional to inform me that all fixtures were order only. She invited me to look around. There were more exterior sconces and some hanging light fixtures but not as much on site to see than in the past. Their toilet, vanity, and kitchen sink display was nice but limited.”
“A large property so be prepared for a walk, there's a lot of good stores around my only complaint is that it's difficult to get across the street to the Trader Joe's and CVS.”
“Service: Supercuts (Hair cut), Starbucks (drink), Target (shopping/CVS) Selection: Great selection. I'm pretty content with the variety of stores they have here. You can do basic shopping at Old Navy, Target, grab food at Panera, Starbucks, and get a haircut at Supercuts. Value: Great value. I'm content with the value provided by the stores, my haircuts don't disappoint for the price I pay (so worth the value), and the Starbucks inside the Target is also not bad. I also like coming to Target to get my flu shots.”
