The site apparently is selling mailing addresses to dubious sites that are either reselling them or otherwise misusing them. There is an obvious deterioration in this site presentation, information and topicality. Currently I learn more about current activities in the area from the posts sticked on the street places!! I regret that I ever joined this site and contributed to it more than 20 times, including with may photos. I was "rewarded" for my contributions with a daily avalanche of perverse sex seeking/offering mails, commercial scam offers from dubious sites and numerous unsolicitated calls. Some of those sites even admitted to me that their source of their personal information (including mine) comes from UES Patch!! So live and learn!!

After Googling it I learned there are 4 different locations. Who knew? This one is just as great as its sister store in Beacon Hill.

Apparently that still isn't enough for the owner to let three customers browse without hovering over them. She looked us up and down, seemed to judge the consignment-store bags we were carrying, and kept insisting on taking them even after I said I was fine. When I declined again, she laughed and said she was "trying to be nice." It felt like we were being watched because she thought we might steal something, while also being pressured to buy something to prove we belonged there. Then she asked where we were from. When we said California, she replied, "Oh, that explains it." The contempt was hard to miss. If you're going to judge people for where they're from and what bags they walk in with, at least spare them the fake friendliness. The attitude in this store was uglier than anything on the racks. I wouldn't spend a dollar here.

Castanet was the perfect place to start my new collection. I agree 100% with the reviewer below me: "Phenomenal curation and maintenance of the garments." Castanet is filled with very special pieces in great condition. I got the impression that the owner, Cassie, thoroughly examines every garment before pricing it and hanging it up for sale, which is very comforting. She knew all about a pair of suede sneakers I asked about (designer, size, tiny flaw on the inside of the left shoe that she was sure to let me know about)...all before she came over to look at them closely. Impressive. I was also impressed by the high-end designers represented there...Chanel, Alexander McQueen, Rick Owens, Prada (just to name a few)...pieces from designers I've never had the opportunity to put my hands on before. That was a trip! I was in heaven going through the racks. In the end, I walked out with: - a pair of Isabel Marant suede sneakers for 1/6th of their retail price - a vintage Prada dress for $90 (!!!!!) - a silk tank top for $10 In short, my experience at Castanet was an absolute dream. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in Boston.

I mean a store dedicated to Harry Potter -- come on?!? And what I found wasn't some corporate, merch-filled spot but something that seemed to have grown out of the love the owner has for all things HP. This small shop includes photos and facts about the cast, mixed in with a fun assortment of items. In particular, I liked the Letter from Hogwarts wallet and items related to each of the Hogwarts houses. (This girl is a proud Ravenclaw, in case you were wondering). I ended up buying my kids plastic pens that look like quills. The owner was talking enthusiastically to all who entered, and when I told him that it was my birthday, he said he had something extra special for me and gave me my own, gold laminated train ticket from London to Hogwarts. I was thoroughly charmed by The Fairy Shop, even without the use of spells. ;-) A must-visit for any Harry Potter fans.

I thought the customer service was fine, helpful and nice, even.

Everything is individually marked with prices. I saw that a piece wasn't marked, and I made them aware of it saying that they might want to add a price. I was trying to help them (someone could steal it since it didn't have a tag, they could claim it to be their own). I walk away and hear one guy say to the other "that kid was really obsessed with this not having a price on it." It doesn't sound so bad in writing but his inflection is noteworthy. Their clothing is overall way overpriced. Half of the stock is lame and the prices they write for them are absolutely whack. I don't know where they get these prices. I know it's on Newbury but c'mon my guy, get real. If you like vintage clothing, go to the Garment District in between Central and Kendall Square, or go to Boomerangs/Buffalo Exchange!
