Hello Brandeis! Today marks exactly two weeks and a day since classes started. It also marks another two weeks until our first break! Speaking of breaks, what plans do you have this weekend? Her Campus Brandeis wants to help out by giving a few Boston hotspots to get you acquainted with this amazing city.
Are you in the mood for daytime shopping? Take a look at these possible options.
- Haymarket: A super cheap outdoor produce market located at the Haymarket T stop, this is a place definitely worth checking out. http://www.yelp.com/biz/haymarket-boston for further reviews.
- Assembly Row: http://www.assemblyrow.com/ A newly renovated outlet and marketplace shopping center conveniently located at Assembly T Station, which just opened fall 2014. Be sure to check out Wilson’s Leather for warmer clothing as Boston starts to become chilly. Also, there is an AMC; https://www.amctheatres.com/movie-theatres/amc-assembly-row-12
- Wrentham Outlets: The SCC is selling refundable $5 tickets for a trip to the Wrentham Outlets. Take this opportunity while you can since it’s a free trip and you receive a coupon book for the Outlets! Usually costs $35-$45 to get there via Boston Common Coach. http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=10
