I can find all kinds of things here, including hand crafted jade, stress relief toys and table games. The owner is very friendly and very knowledgeable about the jade. He also showed me a lot of his own collection, which are very rare and hard to find nowadays. Plenty of free street parking for 2hrs on weekdays. And bus stop is also in the front of the store.

Amazing game store that caters to a variety of hobbies. Just a few notes from someone who has been…read moregoing to all of the locations (since they opened or if they have been more recent) for about 10 years: - They never open and reseal product. I have never seen this one time in my entire time in the stores. Whoever said that in another review is lying. - Prices are compared against the market and 99% of the time, the store will give the customer the best price they can. - They have the most generous trade-in sale percentages of any store around. Having spent time with the owner and founder, most of the employees, and a good amount of the customers, I can say that this store is hands down the best games/hobby venue around. Truly care about providing people and families with a place to compete and have fun.

Friar Tuck himself greeted us at the door today and gave us a quick tour…read more My husband was excited to check out this comic book store, not only because they had back issues that he was looking for in his collection but also the entire store was at least 20% off today! (The prices were a little high to begin with so the sale made them more regular). The display comic books had cool identifiers like the first appearance of Hawkeye, for example. They were valued higher because of these specifics. Even those were 20% off today. My husband's only critique was that some of the long boxes were packed too tight such that he would've had to pull out multiple comic books just to be able to search through the box. He says he would've bought more if there were about 15 fewer issues per long box. Come check it out!

Awesome comic book store. Exactly what I was looking for during my unexpected free afternoon during…read moremy Boston visit. Walked in and one of the employees asked if I was new there. I said Yes and he then gave me their quick spiel. From other reviews it looks like 20% off isn't new and has been a thing for a very long time. I didn't find, in general, their prices to be too bad. A few books maybe but they're smack in the middle of the city in a high tent area and their selection of pretty much everything is great, do slightly higher prices are understandable. Highly suggest a visit for current books, back issues, slabs, and I think lots of gaming stuff as well (I didn't pay attention to their non-comic stuff). It was actually fun for me.

Have you ever been wandering around the Garage in Harvard Square and seen a tiny little shop filled…read moreto the gills with trinkets and jewelry and exotic looking boxes and pipes and pins and all things metal and ornate, all displayed in the window? Yep! This is the place! So small you do most of your shopping on the outside by looking at the display in the window, then walk sideways through the inside to actually select your items, chat with the owner, and pay. 'Tis an experience. I have found some awesome stuff here-- great bronze chandelier earrings, for example, for $20, and multiple amazing bangles and filigree cuff bracelets to add to my extensive collection. Need a bonus? He sells shisha and coals for your hookah! Cheap! I buy mine here. I recommend going and just browsing around without looking for anything specific, but with an open mind to find something you'll love. Lurk around the windows outside, or brave the interior and get lost among one of the most packed little jewelry and goody stores you have ever seen. Some of the strange findings here will surprise you; I can nearly guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Four stars so far - this is an experience in progress…read more I recently broke a silver candelabra. Ok, raise your hand if you know where to get one of these things repaired. Good for you - I did not. I was pretty hopeless. Who would you even think to bring something like to?? On a different day I went jewelry shopping (the kind of shopping where I get "ideas"...har har) and I went into this wonderful place. Brimming with silvergoods (more so than with jewels) I asked if they repaired candelabras. Of course, they say! Yay. So at 5:05 pm today I call them and ask what time they close. Oh, you close at 5? "Well if you think you can make it here in 10 minutes, come on over." That from one of the Parsons himself. What a nice guy! I was so pleased that he stayed later than closing time. Icing on the cake was "sure we can get this back to you this week." More to come when I get the returned good.... UPDATE Wow, it cost $100 to fix (almost as much as the darn thing is worth) but they did such a fantastic job on it I don't think it will ever break off again. You can hardly tell it was fixed. They had it back to me in a couple days, too. Great service!!!

LOVE this place…read more David and the team are the type of people I like to do business with. I needed a ring made. I had no pic of the original. Searched the internet for something close, then emailed 6 jewelers. David called me the following day. Still have not heard from anyone else. I emailed David the images, 3 weeks before Christmas '13, then went over to discuss the specifics in the shop. Describing something from memory that I lost 5 years ago, proved to be problematic. Farley asked all the right questions. I was so impressed. And they said they would have it done before Christmas. For the duration, I brought my boss and colleague in when they needed to purchase Christmas gifts- 5 mins after closing. We were welcomed with open arms, and we got to see some really special historic pieces the store has for sale. On the date they promised, I got the call. The product is impeccable. This ring has not come off my finger since that day. Firestone & Parson was there for me when I needed them. Professional, personable, understanding. When I do business and I get a sense of family, I know I'm in the right place. Do yourself a favor and stop by.
