batt01 Posted September 6, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi, How can I get from the cruise port to Filenes Basement? I need to shop for a formal gown while I'm on my cruise and since I know they are famous for bridal gowns, thought I might have luck looking there. Do I need to take a cab? Any other recommendations for shopping for a formal gown in Boston while in port for one day? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
138east Posted September 6, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Sad news - the original Filene's basement is currently closed. However, there is one in Back Bay, but I'm not familiar with it. I always found the original basement to be very hit or miss - and mostly miss. I went to one of the bridal events with my daughter and was seriously disappointed - lots of hype, huge crowd, and dirty and damaged dresses. Are you coming from NY? I would shop in NY over Boston any day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingbooboo Posted September 8, 2008 #3 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Try the Back Bay Filenes Basement, to an old " regular" it will NEVER be as good as the orginal but that doesn't mean it's no good. Sounds like a perfect way to spend some tie in Boston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paylady Posted September 11, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 11, 2008 The Filene's in Back Bay can be accessed on the T (subway) green line. It's actually located between two stops, Arlington and Copley. Check out this website for info on the T: http://mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/subway/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
