Forget your toothpaste, cleaning supplies, or grab a soda on the go? Stop in at Nora's for all those nicknacks. They have lottery tickets if you're feelin' lucky, and think you might be able to afford the high cost of Back Bay rent. It's on the lower level- but hard to miss.

There is no more denying it! Everybody LOVES 7-11. This convienance store is located in the South End (between the Prudential and Southwest Corridor Park). They accept the following credit cards: Visa, American Express, MasterCard and Discover.

Lasker's is a neighborhood convenience store on the smallest scale. Many items are ask-for-only since the stock up to the ceiling. An original Victorian store front; it's one of the few brownstone storefronts in the Ellis Neighborhood that were not re-zoned for condos. It has an old school feel from cool but cheery help to the unfinished wood floor to the store-cats who work/live there. A recent "backroom" was renovated to include organic/natural foods (grocery, refrigerator and freezer cases) And morning deliveries of Sel De La Terre breads and pastries. There is also fresh brewed organic coffee in the mornings, selfserve. Except for the latter, expect steeped prices for the convenience.

This 7-Eleven was formerly a Christy's location, the bygone convenience store chain owned by Christy Mihos, who ran an unsuccessful gubernatorial campaign in 2006.

This Store 24 is a bit scary late at night - some "unsavory characters" frequent it. But in daylight, it offers all the things you expect in a convenience store at the slightly higher prices you also expect at a convenient store!
