West Street is a quaint little side street housing various shops including Brattle Books. During the summer, Brattle has shelves of books in the alley next to the store for perusal. Don't forget to check out the cool mural with famous authors (not pictured here, so you have to go look yourself!)
Thank you for your contribution. You've taken a huge step to making Povo the "word on the street,"
and we appreciate it very much. Because of the complexity of the "wiki text" and code that can be used
on Povo, in order to edit this section in the future you must click the "edit" button to the right of the section
heading (or for the whole page).
Bookshops like Brattle are what old Boston is all about. The 3 floors of used and out-of-print books ranges from $1-5 finds on the outdoor sales cart to rare, centuries-old, leather-bound volumes. For the real treasures, wind your way up the narrow staircase to the high-security third floor where the hyper-peppy sales staff will gladly let you explore the store's rarest and priciest collections ($1000+). Check out the Life magazines ($20) on the wall dating from the 40s, 50s and 60s. Used books bought for 25-33% of what the shop's selling price.

“Sizzling fajitas and frosty margaritas” are the order of the day at this funky, laid-back hangout. It's not the most authentic taco joint, but portions are large and prices are reasonable (fajitas $7-12, large order of tequila wings $10, and chili $3-4). The bar stocks 18 different kinds of tequila—need we say more? Margaritas $4+, pitchers $10+. Best of all, should the José Cuervo bring out your artistic impulses, feel free to doodle on the tables and walls (crayons provided). Entrees $7-13.
