Where to Shop in Boston USA Though steeped in history, Fort Point is the go-to answer to anyone who claims that Boston is as edgy as a butter knife. Its rows of industrial warehouses, which once stored wool, sugar, and molasses, now host tech start-ups, nonprofits, and studio space. For more info check TourAmericaDirect.co.uk Boston page and blog. The Made in Fort Point store has prints and paintings from area artists on offer, as well as nestlike sconces and pendant lamps from local design studio Birch and Willow.

Wander along the HarborWalk to visit the new home of Louis, the revered 87-year-old clothier, which shrugged off its stodgy Back Bay quarters in 2010 for a sleek space overlooking the harbor. Louis has big-name labels like Marni, Jason Wu, and Proenza Schouler, but it’s also one of the few places you’ll find the nubby knits and asymmetrical dresses of local designer Jackie Fraser-Swan, whose line, Emerson, is both her middle name and a tribute to her distant relative, Ralph Waldo. Plan to stop at the nearby Institute of Contemporary Art’s gift shop for more idiomatic souvenirs, such as cuff links crafted from the original parquet floors of the former Boston Garden arena or from Bruins hockey pucks. New¬bury Street, Boston’s major retail thoroughfare, boasts the stores—and crowds—of Madison Avenue or Rodeo Drive. For an antidote to that, head instead to the South End, where you’ll find GQ-worthy duds at menswear shops Sault, Uniform, and Bobby From Boston, and flirty dresses and denim at women’s boutiques such as Flock.

On Sundays, locals weave through the booths at the nearby SoWa Open Market for its triumvirate of art, antiques, and artisanal foodstuffs on sale. It’s also the place to come for everything from adorable stuffed narwhals to old subway token earrings to tangy Grillo’s Pickles. Where to Eat in Boston USA Take the opportunity to graze when Boston’s flourishing community of food trucks converges on weekends—on Sundays they’re found at the SoWa market, where you can sample Green Muenster Melts from Roxy’s Grilled Cheese, chickpea fritters from Clover, or mini lobster sliders from the Go Fish! truck. For a more upscale meal, head across the Charles River to Cambridge, which is home not only to Harvard and MIT but also to some of the smartest, most inventive food in the area. (The Boston Globe made waves last year when it said the best food in Boston?…?was in Cambridge.) Chef Tony Maws won a James Beard Award in 2011 for his creative nose-to-tail offerings at Craigie on Main—all the more reason to cast decisions aside and let him choose the six or eight courses for your tasting menu, which may offer dishes such as beet and pig’s ear salad, and celery and green apple sorbet. For more info check TourAmericaDirect.co.uk Boston page and blog. Other Cambridge standouts include East by Northeast’s modern Chinese menu, with its hand-rolled noodles with pork ragout and duck confit dumplings. Area Four’s wood-fired pizzas are topped with surprising combinations such as pancetta, potato, and mascarpone. “I covet their oven,” says Joanne Chang, the owner of the always packed Flour Bakery, whose roasted lamb sandwiches and homemade toaster pastries fuel Cambridge’s agile minds. Chang adds: “Go to Toscanini’s for the best ice cream in the world.” Try its more unusual flavors such as burnt caramel or goat cheese brownie.
