Where to shop in Boston

[abrian]

I am going to be in Boston for a conference next week and have set aside some time Tuesday, my last day in town, to do some reef shopping. I will be staying at the Seaport downtown and only expect to be able to hit one store during my visit.

I keep mostly sps and would like to hit the store that people recommend as having the best selection of stony corals. I am going to be without a car, so I have to be somewhat concerned with distance from the trade center area as well. Any guidance would be appreciated. I have looked at your vendor threads, but not being familiar with the area at all I am clueless about where the stores discussed are located and which have the selection of livestock I am most interested.

Thank you! - Alan

In boston i would hit Skiptons, 70 Southampton Street, Boston MA 02118 - 617-541-0520, and just outside boston is Lovely Pets, 69 Parkingway
Quincy, MA 02169-5059, (617) 786-1898, its just outside boston.
Im not really too familiar with any other LFS's in town though.
Skiptons usually has a ton of SPS in there tanks. You could always arrange to buy off of some of the for sale threads on here too, there are a bunch of people living in town that are trying to sell things.

Moved to "reef talk" so people can respond. (discussion is not allowed in "vendor experiences" )

Skiptons is it in Boston. There are several other good LFS's most of which are sponsors, but Skiptons it the only one in Boston. Skiptons is worth the visit IMO, ask for Brendon.

without a car even skiptons is a pretty decent walk from seaport, a taxi might only cost about 10 dollars depending what time you are going
