decent galleria with 3 floors of shopping goodness. So since this is the closets galleria to my hometown, I'd say it's pretty good. 3 floors of good, but then again pretty standard stores. I do like that their H&M (basically my favorite/only store I frequent) is 2 really big floors with a Men and Women's section, and is organized better than other H&M's. Beyond clothes they have a Best Buy, a Borders Book Store, and chain restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory and the California Pizza Kitchen. The only thing I don't like is that, for a shopping center, this galleria is pretty far away from the city/heart of the shopping district (it's also not even in Cambridge, which makes the title sound misleading). You have to take the green line to Lechemere, which is basically a crappy location for most people to travel to. The only other thing relatively close to the area is the Museum of Science. But all in all, a decent place to shop if you're tired of walking up and down Newbury Street and need cheaper alternative stores all in one location.

A breath of fresh air among Boston-area malls for its reasonable prices, array of choices and inexpensive parking.. In Short
The emphasis at the Galleria is on mainstream choices with prices that won't send you into shock. H&M, Borders and Best Buy share space with The Gap and Guess. There's a large food court, as well as a Cheesecake Factory and California Pizza Kitchen. And what would a mall be without a J. Crew and Banana Republic?
