Forest Hills Cemetery

95 Forest Hills Ave
Jamaica Plain, MA 02130

Daniel S. writes: Angry and frustrated that I missed my train to go hiking in Rockport I did a quick search for somewhere local and stomped off to Forest Hills Cemetery.

Mount Auburn Cemetery

580 Mt Auburn St
Cambridge, MA 02138

Tom E. writes: Cemeteries have a special place in my heart. Just like any teenager growing up in England, they quickly went from being that scary place that gave you a chill to walk past to being THE place to go with the 2 litre bottle of cider that Dave's sister…

Bright Town Cleaners

339 Washington St
Brighton, MA 02135

Emily S. writes: With short legs, finding a pair of pantaloons is hard for me...but the peeps at Bright Town hooked this shorty up! They shortened my new work pants quickly for not a lot of money. And then, as if it couldn't get any better, they get a mysterious…

694 Massachusetts Ave
Cambridge, MA 02139

Tom E. writes: Annoyingly they didn't sell goats. We had to go back home, and go online to buy a goat for my friend. And I don't mean a toy goat or something. I mean a goat that eats rubbish, attacks passers-by and gives you milk and (when done) a nice bit of meat.…

Teele Square
1244 Broadway
Somerville, MA 02143

Red D. writes: Now called "Kirkland Cleaners," by the way, AND raising their "wash n' fold" prices to a whopping 85 cents/lb, but if you're either too rich, too lazy or too busy to do your own wash and dirty laundry piles up like bullshit in the White House, then…

Newbury Tailoring Co

2nd Fl
Boston, MA 02116

Rob D. writes: A family run business that really, honestly cares about its clientle.

650A Boylston St

Simeon's Fine Tailoring
Neighborhood: Central Square

112 Bishop Rchrd Alln Dr
Cambridge, MA 02139

Tom E. writes: I used Yelp for something useful. That makes a change from using it to chat about bass solos and Alanis Morisette's irony problems. What Yelp told me was that there was a good tailor, who also did dry cleaning not too far from me.

Yelp wasn't wrong…

Columbus Dry Cleaners
Neighborhood: South End, Back Bay

465 Columbus Ave
Boston, MA 02116

Eleni of New York
Neighborhood: Davis Square

257 elm street
Somerville, MA 02144

marie c. writes: Thank you, thank you, thank you Yelp!

I was seriously in need of a dry cleaner's and a place to get minor alternations done (any pair of pants I buy is always going to be 2" inches too long). Yelp pointed me here to Porter Sq. Dry Cleaner's and I'm…

Jazz Shoe Repair

686 Washington St
Ste A
Brookline, MA 02446

Jenny N. writes: In my experience, only the most cluttered storefronts reveal a skilled cobbler. This shoe repair shop is a bit out of the way if you don't live near Brookline, but it's worth investigating if you haven't yet found the "miracle man" who will save…

Enterprise Rent-A-Car

37 Mystic Ave
Somerville, MA 02145

Downtown Crossing Instant Shoe Repair
Neighborhood: Downtown

7 Chauncy St
Boston, MA 02111

Brunhilde
Neighborhood: Fenway

72 Peterbourough St
Boston, MA 02215

Marcell S. writes: Brunhilde is the best tailor in Boston. She no longer has her store front so she works out of her apartment still in the Fenway area. She does great work and is the best at keeping the same hem on jeans for only $15. I particularly enjoy her crazy…

Boston, MA 02120

Beth E. writes: April 2007: I buy myself a birthday present, my beloved Macbook Pro.

Floor 4
Boston, MA 02116

Brookline, MA 02446

Choice Cleaners & Tailors

475 Main St
Watertown, MA 02472

Sleepy Hollow Cemetery

129 Bedford St
Concord, MA 01742

Lyndsay B. writes: I agree with Jim W., every (transidental) literature geek should come here. It is a beautiful cemetary - old, roomy, calm - and an homage to people of the past.

It is walkable from Concord's town center, but I would recommend driving to the cemetery…
