Faneuil Hall Marketplace

From Citysearch

Shopping, food and entertainment in one jam-packed package.

Overview
The three long market buildings, which combine to make what is usually referred to as Quincy Market, are a top destination for Bostonians and tourists alike. You'll find some major national chains like Ann Taylor, Abercrombie&Fitch, Crabtree&Evelyn, Crate&Barrel and Victoria's Secret, as well as local gems like Celtic Weavers and Geoclassic.

Features
The actual Quincy Market building (the central market hall across from Faneuil Hall) is devoted primarily to food, with a range of cuisines to satisfy everyone's tastes. The North and South Market buildings house an array of clothing stores, gift shops and just about every other kind of retailer. A broad band of entertainers roams between the buildings, and still more merchants sell their wares from more than 55 pushcarts.

Insider Tips
Come summertime, note that the popular, packed food hall is not any air-conditioned; when the mercury is rising, bring your food outside and hope for a breeze.
