This “boutique” would be a good place to go if you wanted the shoes you wore in 7th grade—for an astronomic price. The unbelievably limited selection of original Adidas apparel includes $120 '70s track jackets and $85 moccasins bearing those oh-so-stylish stripes strangely reminiscent of little-league soccer. Stop in to check out the minimalist decor and dance videos projected onto the walls: see for yourself whether there's anything behind the hype.

Template:Stationery Store The mysterious stranger with the sleek leather folio whips out his Mont Blanc fountain pen with a flourish. “Slate,” he says in response to your questioning gaze. “Bob Slate.” Who Bob is, and why he has an upscale office supply fetish, is a little unclear. Still, writers, artists, and anal-retentive paperclip geeks alike flock to this remarkable stationery store. Bob Slate offers journals of every shape and size and an extensive selection of classy greeting cards, wrapping paper, photo albums, and art supplies (particularly at the Mass. Ave. store). Custom-printed stationery $80-300+. Other stores, at 63 Church St. (617-547-7181) and 1975 Mass. Ave., just past Porter Square (617-547-8624), all have the same hours.

Stonestreets sells gorgeous-but-expensive traditional clothing with European panache: nubby blazers ($650-750), linen trousers ($145+), silky shirts in neutral and blue ($125-300), and ties ($85-115). The recent emphasis on “business casual” has led Stonestreets to carry more relaxed wear. Friendly salespeople do not inhibit browsing, but the price of a complete ensemble might.
