Boston
SHOP
This is an easy one for
us—we’re especially
good at shopping. In
Brookline, just on the
outskirts of Boston, we
love Mint Julep, a local
boutique with unique
clothing and accesso-
ries. It’s hard to walk
by without going in.
And while you’re in
the neighborhood, grab
a coffee and browse
through the Brookline
Booksmith. This is a
classic independent
bookstore where you
could spend hours. They
have some stellar “gifty”
things to pick up as well.
Other great shopping
can be found on Bea-
con Hill and Newbury
Street. Crush Boutique
has a location in each
neighborhood with a
well-curated collection
of great designers. If you
are looking for shopping
in the suburbs, there is
a great jewelry store in
Newton called Folklorica
which has an interesting,
funky jewelry collection
including the latest from
Alexis Bittar.

There’s so much to do in
Boston, but we’d suggest
starting your stay with
Boston Duck Tours—you
can get a feel for the city
and see almost every-
thing! We’ve taken our
own out of town family
on this tour, and it’s really
fun for all ages. Then,
walk the Freedom Trail and
