This is the place that I would take most of my friends who are from out of town, or even from a different country. Especially winter time because it's nice and warm. It has all kind of nice, high brand stores such as Tiffany & Co., A|X Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, as well as casual clothes such as Express, Banana Republic, JCrew and so on. There is also a movie theater, bookstore, cafe, and restaurant. Another big shopping complex called Prudential Mall is connected by tunnel.
When I think about tax in Massachusetts, this place is really worthwhile. There is no state sales tax in other parts of New England such as New Hampshire, but they do not have stores like this. If you are a big fan of high-end brands such as Tiffany & Co., A|X Armani, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, this is the place to go. The % of tax really maters when unit prices of your purchase are bigger.
