This is a liquor store plus (more than the average "packy"). Sort of a cross with a convenience store so you can pick up more of what you need besides the booze! They also act as a Western Union Agent location and can help you wire money.

Located on Massachusetts Avenue, near Berklee School of Music, and in the Back Bay area, this hole in the wall is the area's best resource for costumes, whether its for Halloween or a run-of-the-mill costume party. Open 7 days a week, you can always snag something for a last-minute costume emergency--and who hasn't had one of those?
Wigs, boas, platform heels, fishnets, crazy hats, facepaint, sunglasses in all shapes and sizes, pre-packaged costumes, inexpensive shoes, props, belts, bandanas, costume jewelry--you name it! Relatively inexpensive, and a wide variety of choices for men and women in a good range of sizes.
Don't try to get close to Dorothy's around Halloween - they hire muscle to control the crowds waiting to get in. Instead, stop by Dorothy's all year round and build up an arsenal to fit your every costume need.
Insider tip: looking for rainboots without crazy JCrew prices? Dorothy's carries them in multiple colors and patterns--even animal themes like ladybugs and bumblebees. Other best finds? clown wigs and facepaint in every school's colors.

Mary Baker Eddy founded the Church of Christ, Scientist (aka, the religion of Christian Science) which holds education as a basic tenant.

You need to buy a timed ticket for entry. The Quotes Cafe is a little-known spot - quiet and with really good food. The "Hall of Ideas" is really amazing, digital projected quotes on all sorts of topics move around the floor, walls and fountain.

Near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Newbury Street Pizza Pie-er is a small establishment with an interesting menu. They've expanded the traditional pizza to have an array of crusts (4), sauces (10), and toppings (34). The crusts and sauces are the largest differentiators that you don't see at other establishments, and it's refreshing to see a focus on healthier fare as well (this includes items such as whole wheat or multigrain crusts). Plenty of veggie and meat options to please anyone in your crowd,
The staff is friendly, the tabletops resemble pizzas with lots of toppings, and the ambience is much more pleasant than you would assume from the location and the facade. When the other pizza options nearby can be greasy and college-infested, Pizza Pie-er makes for a cleaner, tastier option. Or dozens of options! Good for a quick bite on your way to the Berklee Performance Center, shopping on Newbury Street, or on your way down to the The Esplanade
Extra perk? Not just a lunch or dinner sit-down spot. Late night delivery is available til 1230 during the week and 1:30 Friday and Saturday, and late night takeout til 1 am during the week and 2 am on Friday and Saturday!

Family owned since 1978, Supreme Pizza & Subs is an established favorite of the college crowd. Located within walking distance of Symphony station and the Berklee college of music, this cozy pizzeria offers both standard takeout service, as well as a dining area which seats up to 30.
Though the name Supreme Pizza & Subs should give an idea as to the kind of menu fare offered, the restaurant also features variety of other choices, all with affordable prices. Calzones, Club Sandwiches, Roll-Ups, Pasta and Dinner entrees, and of course pizza, offered either as a full medium (12") or large 15") pie, or simply order by the slice. Toppings consist largely of old standbys like pepperoni, mushroom and sausage, though specialty toppings like feta cheese and roasted red peppers make an appearance on several of the specialty pies. In addition the late hours also make this eatery an excellent choice for local bar-going patrons, looking for a quick bite after a night of drinking.
Delivery available throughout Suffolk County, though get your orders in at least fifteen minutes before closing time. Now open until 2:30am on Friday and Saturday nights, this late-night eatery should not be missed.

Another of the ethnic restaurants along this strip of Massachusetts Avenue, catering to the student population. A menu that features all the normal Thai dishes. It's really just the counter and a few token seats - more take-out than anything else. Signature dish is, yes - you guessed it, Tom Yum soup.
Free summer salad with lunch dine-in order!
