Malls, main streets and big-box stores
Boston’s retail is split between downtown and the neighborhoods. Downtown Crossing, on Washington Street between Boston Common and the Financial District, is a pedestrian shopping district, and Faneuil Hall Marketplace adds shops and carts around Quincy Market. In Back Bay, the storefronts of Newbury Street and Boylston Street lead to the Prudential Center and Copley Place, malls with sales floors and stockrooms of their own.
At South Bay, in Dorchester beside the Southeast Expressway, a shopping center holds big-box stores and a supermarket, reached by the 8 and 10 buses. Neighborhood retail is on the main streets: grocery stores, pharmacies and local shops along Dorchester Avenue, Centre Street in Jamaica Plain, Meridian Street in East Boston and Washington Street in Roslindale.
