This was never the greatest Filene's Basement around, but it has really gone downhill over the years. The store is so dingy and poorly laid out. The clothing selection, especially for women, is really awful. The prices aren't even that great. The staff seems miserable to be there, and the store is usually a mess. You might still find an okay gift, a home decorative object, or some underwear here, but good luck. You're much better off trying the Marshalls downstairs. The store is also pretty cramped, yet they really don't have anything good. I feel like I've walked into the lousy Woolworths in downtown L.A. when I was a kid in the 1970s. Yuck.

If you are out shopping at Target or Home Depot, then your dining options are pretty limited. Friendly's is an option, and one of your Cheap Eat options. I ws surprised on a recent visit that service wasn't as slow as it had been in the past, and they seem to be making an effort. The host and waitresses certainly were friendly, and they seemed to care whether or not we were having a good meal. For basic dishes, it's about what you would expect. Some of the ice cream things are a bit expensive for what they are, though. We shared a Cookies and Cream sundae that came mostly melted, and we ended up drinking it like a shake (tasty, and I was happy, but husband really wanted a sundae). The appetizers are not very good. Always lots of kids there. Plenty of parking.

Great small Middle Eastern grocery store. Full of all the items you might need, baked goods, bread, hummus, fruit, veggies. Bake fresh pastries every day, including lahm bil ajeen, zatar, and muhammarra. I tried the lahm bil ajeen and it was ok, not very flavorful. They have the best and freshest persian bread. Yum!

This place never ceases to amaze me. I've had Shawarmas all over Europe and the U.S. and nothing has compared to this one. It's tahini sauce is a powerful escape for the taste buds. The chickens are flavorful and have excellent texture. The kebabs are moist and perfectly spiced. While the baba-ganoush was nothing to write home about they do have excellent hummus and grape leaves. Just trust me, don't let the somewhat dry decor throw you off, the food and bargain is worth it.
Pros: parking, bargain, superb flavors
Cons: decor

I called Olympia to get an estimate over the phone for a small apartment move. The sales rep took a complete inventory of my 2 bedroom apartment and prepared an estimate for me. I called 3 other companies in addition to Olympia. All said and done, Olympia was not the least expensive company I spoke with. But having gone with the cheap mover in previous moves, I've learned that you get what you pay for. With that in mind, I went with Olympia! The 3 young movers they sent showed up early on move day. These guys were great! They disassmbled and wrapped my furniture and then set everything up in my new apartment. They completed my move in under 4 hours. It was the first time I've seen guys jogging to and from the truck. These guys are professionals and I would highly recommend calling them for your next move!
Pros: Hardworking crew

There are several things I LOVED about this shop:
1. There were so many beautiful dresses! Some bridal shops have lots of dresses, but most of them are really tacky and cheap looking. In my search, I walked into a lot of stores and I only liked every 1 out of 15. At Viva Amore, I must have tried on at least half of the dresses in my size over 2 visits to the store. They are all so beautiful and each one has that "wow" factor.
2. I also loved the fact that they carried so many dresses for "real" women (not just women that are size 2!). There was a huge selection of dresses in sizes 8-14 and there were also plenty plus size gowns that were beautiful.
3. The service was wonderful. When I was finally ready to get my gown, Mena came in on her day off and spent 4 hours there while I tried on every dress and then tried the top 3 on multiple times. I never felt rushed and I appreciated her honest feedback.
4. The prices are AMAZING! There's no doubt about it- they sell dresses at a steep discount. There is nowhere else that even comes close to those prices in Boston.
I am soooo glad that I found this store. I could never had afforded the beautiful dress otherwise. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone who asks to Viva Amore.
Pros: Beautiful dresses at steep discounts
