People with allergies beware: due to the old building, the cats, and the plants, this may trigger sensitivities.

It has turned into a tourist magnet over the past 10 years and the place is small and crowded with people who can't figure out how to pass each other while browsing. The prices are very high, but what isn't lately? I don't really feel compelled to buy anything here because it's hard to navigate the small overcrowded parking lot without getting hit as it is, let alone carrying a big tree. My daughter did buy some nice hanging plants.

I made it a point to visit this shop on my trip to visit family up there from coming from all the…read moreway from Oklahoma. Since we don't have a lot of Irish stores here. The time of my visit was during Chris Columbus weekend. I took the commuter train in from Newburyport to North Station and then take the T to Broadway and walk all the way there. By the time I got there it was well after 11pm and the door was locked and had a sign that said be back in a few, turned out to be 30 minutes. Had a decent conversation with a local guy that waited with me there saying the gal Mary or something just lived up the street and she'd probably be there real soon. When the lady did show up didn't apologize or anything which is fine, I really wanted to get something from Southie. Which would be made from there and was also Irish. Sadly, nothing there was from the area. Most of the stuff you'd find in most of the Irish stores in the area. The shirts that had Southie on them were very generic. I did find a bin on the floor near the register that had some Irish jerseys and was marked 35 dollars on the front of the bin. I saw a Guinnes soccer jersey and thought okay I'll go with that, ended up being 50 dollars. At this point didn't care anymore and fine.. the money is going to keep it local and all so here ya go. So, it may not have been the greatest experiences I might just ask for a place that is called Southies Own, to sell some local stuff that matches the theme of the store.
