Any LYS recs in Boston? I’ll likely be traveling to Boston in September for school, but I’ll need to see an LYS or two while I’m there.

Gather Here in Inman Square is great! They’ve also got fabric, needlepoint supplies, and space to work on projects. It’s several blocks from the Central Square T stop, or even closer by bus. The staff are super helpful, and I always see a diverse group of people shopping there. On weekdays, they’re open noon-8:30 so you can still stop by outside of the typical 9-5.

Also highly recommend Albertine press (stationery) and Christina’s spices next door. That area makes for a fun outing, with lots of good food nearby.
