Stop & Shop

A big grocery store that'll probably have what you want at a perfectly reasonable price. - - - It's a big-chain grocery store with like 15+ aisles, each of which typically has not only many types of one product, but many of that one type, if that makes sense. Basically, there's a lot of stuff here and you'll find what you want. Niche stuff like vegan, kosher, and -free products might be a different story. Besides tofu, I don't buy that stuff or explore those sections very much. I would expect decent selections though. The international aisle(s) are OK. They are large, but really no different than other American grocery stores. If you're looking for (south)east Asian groceries, check out the nearby Super 88. It isn't perfect though. Like any grocery store, sometimes you'll walk in and some shelves are quite poorly stocked. This may be early morning, late at night, or after a busy day, but it happens. Additionally, I'm a big fan of unique/interesting fruits sand vegetables, which this place tends to lack. My comparisons are both the nearby Star Market and Whole Foods, which typically have something unique. Personal gripe: this place doesn't have Turkey Hill Green Tea, which is my favorite. To be fair though, most places in Boston don't... Anyway... It's a good grocery store and you know what you're getting here. ~John

Boston Christmas Trees

What a great place! It’s a small lot but it’s such a convenient location and still has plenty of options. The workers are so kind, friendly, and helpful. I think the prices are also very competitive (trees are just expensive). So happy with my 7’ beauty and very grateful the guy helping me did a fantastic job of securing it to the roof. Made it home no problem. Also I think the live garland and wreaths are 100% worth the money. They’re just gorgeous and smell delightful. ~Joy

Designers Circus Corporation

Had a pretty wide selection of clothes. This is the only reason I'm giving it two starts. Perhaps someone may find something they like. The biggest issue for me, was that I was told to "Wait at the front, this is women's only". HAHA. I can't imagine a dumber business model, and it raises a variety of questions as to why. I wasn't given a reason, but a likely cover excuse I would expect to be shilled is something about changing rooms being in the back yadda yadda. I was literally in the center of the store, though. Second thing: The designers there, when I went, were off-brands basically. No big names. Perhaps this was expected, and desired by some. Be it what it is. Third: Prices. When's the last time you paid "$300" slashed to $120 an off brand designer bag? Honest question, answer it for yourself. In my brief looks, I didn't see any original tags, and it looked like most items had subjective hand written 'MSRP' that may have been slashed down. I don't know, it wasn't immediately clear if you're actually saving money. So bottom like, don't come here as a man and don't expect super cheap prices. ~Tim

Charles River Saab

They broke my rear window, didn't pay for it. I hag to go through my insurance company and pay a deductible They gave me a loner but when I picked up my car everything wasn't put back together. would not bring my car back Update 06/12/19 - I took my care to another auto shop to get my brake lights changed and the mechanic told me that who ever put rear window in ordered the wrong size glass. So the part of the glass that connects with the brake doesn't reach and thus is impossible to connect. He said that I should take my car back and make them install the correct glass. Think not but I will be reporting them.They basically screwed a simple job up from start to finish. ~Niquie

Atlantic Bay Contracting

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I can not put into words the amount of thanks we owe them to get our job done. This company went above and beyond to remove all of the shingles on our house during an abatement and did not deter during trying times (neighbor issues). This is the second house I have used their services for and I would never question calling them again. A+++ Service: Hazardous waste removal & disposal ~Crystal

Walgreens

They seem to always be out of stock on everything. Every time I've tried to pick up refills of vitamin d and nicotine gum, they are ever in shock. Easily the worst pharmacy I've ever been to. Also, while I was waiting in line yesterday for prescriptions that weren't ready (they called me and said they were) I overheard the pharmacist on a conference call with what sounded like the regional manager, and the pharmacist said to her colleague that they were the lowest rated Walgreens in the area. No surprise there ~Dennis

Yoma Burmese Foods

My girlfriend introduced me to this spot and I am absolutely blown away by the quality of the food here. never tried Burmese food before and was immediately pleased with the flavors. I ordered the veggie samosas in curry sauce which was just the right amount of spice and the rainbow noodles which I've ordered COUNTLESS of times before. I love that the focus is on healthy eating here. I also want to add the service was impeccable. ~Evan
