Attention Bargainistas: Nordstrom Rack Sets up Shop in Framingham

If there’s one thing that I know about, it’s where to shop for clothing bargains. As a former Nordstrom employee, I was so excited to hear that Nordstrom Rack is opening a new store on Thursday, April 8 in Framingham.

Though not as well known in the Boston area, Nordstrom Rack has become a widely respected destination nationwide for deals and steals. While I wish it was more accessible to downtown Boston, Nordstrom Rack’s location in Shopper’s World is one more incentive for a designer deal hunting jaunt. Add in the temptations found at Marshall’s, T.J. Maxx and DSW and there’s a good chance that you won’t come home empty handed.

On the Town: The Beehive

The Beehive by Amanda K. from Yelp

With its eye-catching entrance reminiscent of a vintage theatre, funky bohemian decor and live jazz, walking into The Beehive instantly transports you into an eclectically hip party. Located inside the historic Cyclorama on Tremont Street in the South End, this multilevel venue caters to the dinner, drinks and weekend brunch crowd.

Unless you have a dinner reservation, try to visit The Beehive before 10:00 p.m. on a weekend evening, or you may find yourself stuck in line outside. Once inside, there is a smaller upper level bar, but I recommend traveling downstairs, a vast former boiler room which has been transformed into a boho chic space.

Once settled downstairs at the bar, be sure to grab a drink menu before ordering. In addition to its hip atmosphere, The Beehive boasts an innovative drink menu, from six different champagne cocktails, to my personal favorite – The Beehive Julep (all $10.50/ea).

The Beehive is easy to locate at 541 Tremont Street in the South End alongside the Boston Center for the Arts (BCA).  Open seven days per week from 5:00 p.m. – 2:00 a.m., check The Beehive’s website for special weekend brunch and afternoon hours by clicking here.
