The shops and restaurants here are really curated in a way that it draws you in, as most of these places are one of a kind in this neighborhood...its really cool! Lots of new places since my last review...especially for all you foodies out there (& myself). Some of my favorite additions are Chip City and Blackbird Doughnuts. More on the way too, Jersey Mikes is coming as well as a new restaurant called ButterBird. The clothing store J Crew is opening soon as well. There's also a lot of fitness places I want to try, esp Rumble Boxing. Also the James Joseph Salon and the Skin Laundry place look cool. There's really something here for everyone, both of which are useful for everyday living, or just for a fun night out of new places to explore.

Opposite the upscale Shops at Chestnut Hill, Chestnut Hill Square is a little bit more down market…read moreand a lot more food.

I will say though this is no Chestnut Hill Mall or it is not like The Street. The lower level consists of Wegmans and lots of parking.

Good job Brighton Mills that's a great business model you guys got there, my suggestion to anyone reading this review is take your business elsewhere cuz you might just come out to your car towed away because they notoriously do this all the time as I was told by the tow yard

My daughter made an appointment for when she was visiting this coast, and as required selected…read moreseveral dresses in advance to have waiting for her to try on during our visit. Despite nearly three weeks advance time, she was notified two days before the appointment that several of her selections weren't available. For this, and for having only a small part of the online options actually in the store, I'm deducting one star. Aside from that, our experience here was great! Her bridal consultant (Ashley?) walked her through the racks pulling out dresses she thought might work, and listening closely to my daughter's likes and dislikes. She did focus mainly on "bridal" options, but my daughter also picked out a few from the less formal "reception" collection that were viable choices. We liked the wide price ranges to pick from to try on, but we're a bit disappointed that there were more polyester and fewer silk dresses in the mix. We (me, mother of the bride and the maid of honor/sister of the bride) appreciated the offer of prosecco at 10:30am! It was so fun watching the consultant cinch and pin the dresses to give us all a sense of how each dress would look. And of course to begin to imagine our baby in any one of these! After the hour & a half appointment, the bride got only a little pressure to buy, and left with a card listing the 2 dresses she really liked and was still considering. Since the wedding shop is housed within a "regular" Anthropologie, on the way out my elder daughter and I stopped to try on options for us - and we each bought the dress we'll be wearing on the big day! What a fun first wedding dress shopping experience!

Unfortunately, it felt more rushed than I expected. I didn't feel very heard during the appointment, and the overall tone came across as a bit judgmental rather than empathetic. Wedding dress shopping is such a personal experience, and I was hoping for more guidance and reassurance. That said, if you know exactly what you're looking for, they do have a decent amount of options. For someone who doesn't love shopping, though, it ended up feeling more stressful than special.

Having moved from the area between Packard's Corner and Coolidge Corner, I was afraid that we would…read morereally feel that we are out in the 'burbs when moving to Newton. The Newton Highlands area is adorable. The little strip of shops and restaurants gives us a little place to walk around on the weekend. We have learned the hits and misses and are enjoying the process of learning our favorite places to dine and shop. While I still miss the late hours of the places on Comm and Brighton Ave, I'm adjusting to sprinting down the street to get sushi before is closes... at 9pm. The train station is directly on Walnut Street, making going to and from this area of Newton very accessible. The highlands abuts Needham and Needham Street so it might get over looked in comparison to the many shops on Needham St but give the Highland's a try.

If you've seen various videos online…read moreyou'll know that this TJ Maxx is considered to be the holy grail because it's near TJX HQ and known for its Runway section, but I'm going to be 100% honest with you the Runway section was quite small. I was envisioning a much larger selection. They did have a few pieces to stop and give pause but nothing earth shattering. Now what I will say is that they had a fully stocked skincare/haircare section that had amazing deals and 75% of the stock was name brand products. The purse section was also pretty well stocked though I think you'll find more of a variety at Burlington with better price points. The remainder of the store had similar offerings that the other various Tj Maxx's have in the region just slightly more upscale with no sparse shelves or racks. So overall worth a stop, but slightly lower your expectations if you were specifically coming in for Runway and only Runway.
