The most well known Boston shopping icon may be Filene’s, but as one would expect from a large city, there are several quality department stores in the Boston area. Here are a few of the best known shopping extravaganzas.

Filene’s - 426 Washington Street / Theater District / 617-357-3000
Another Boston icon with a bit younger history, Filene’s was founded in 1881 and features six floors of well known designer apparel and high quality items for the entire family.
• Filene’s Basement - 426 Washington Street / Theater District / 617-542-2011
Filene’s Bargain Basement has taken on a life of it’s own, where the values are pretty amazing if one wishes to literally wade through the merchandise. (The basement is now under separate management.)

Lord and Taylor - Prudential Center / Back Bay / 617-262-6000

Macy’s - 450 Washington Street / Theater District / 617-357-3000
