Template:Jewelry Store This place will transport you out of Cambridge quicker than the Chinatown bus. Right out of Canal St. in NYC (it's disappointing to find there's no “back room”), the store is overflowing with cheap bags, jewelry, hair clips, and those slipper shoes everyone and their mother seems to be wearing. A great place to find the earrings for that dress or the bag for that outfit without feeling frivolous. The stuff isn't expensive, and the owners support a college in Nepal. Glittery stuff of all sorts $5-30. Cash only. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

Template:Copy Shop Next to Tower Records, this Gnomon location has the capacity for heavy-duty copying chores.

Self-service copier, 5¢. Résumé service, folding, cutting, and laminating. Mac and IBM-compatible rentals with 600dpi printer available.

Template:Psychic Next to Tower Records, in a bright and simple room marked by purple neon writing, Mystic Rosa sits waiting to uncover your future. She's been using her psychic gifts since she was a little girl and incidentally, also taking in cash from her Harvard Square patrons for the past 20 years. Get a palm ($25), tarot ($35) or crystal ball reading ($50), or splurge on an astrological reading ($100) or a Horoscope ($150). Though walk-ins are accepted, it's best to make your appointment with the future in advance. Cash only.

With a wide variety of teas, coffees, pastries, and espresso drinks, and a sunny, airy courtyard location, Peet's attracts everyone from students to yuppies to crunchy locals. Come with your own mug and get 10¢ off your beverage (coffee starts at $1.50, tea at $1.70, and espresso drinks $2.75+). Pastries ($1-3) are notably better than those at competing chains (a.k.a. Starbucks). Peet's is also the place to come if you want to get coffee or tea to brew yourself—they stock over 30 varieties of each and the knowledgeable salespeople will help you pick a type to fit your tastes.

Template:Comic Book Store Named after one of Ray Bradbury's sci-fi stories, the MYP touts itself as Boston's (and possibly New England's) oldest comic book store. This cozy but often crowded underground abode is home to Spiderman, Batman, and Superman, as well as their lesser known superhero brethren, all accessible with the help of mild-mannered sales clerks. Look also for more obsure yet wholesome titles like Horny Biker Slut and Usagi Yojimbo. The store stocks a fantastic array of graphic novels and book collections, back issues, collectors' items, foreign comics (French, German, Japanese, Italian, Spanish, and Dutch), adult comics, and T-shirts ($18-25). Subscription services are available at 20% off, but comics must be picked up at the store. Check for frequent creator signings.
