Boston is known for being a walkable city full of distinct neighborhoods, many of which offer great shopping. Our Boston-based bloggers have searched the city for the best stores, and we've compiled them here in one guide. (Editor's note: A tech glitch has caused several sections of this guide to go missing. We're in the process of fixing — we appreciate your patience.)

Back Bay

• Madura: They have both ready-to-wear style curtains (like you find at Crate & Barrel) and customizable designs in bold colors and patterns, and everything is organized by hue.

Beacon Hill

• Black Ink: The epitome of eclectic shopping, they offer a little bit of everything from children's books to TinTin toys, modern pottery to cookbooks, and pet supplies to alternative jewelry. Boston bloggers Wes and Kayla call it "possibly the greatest tiny shop in Boston."
• Koo de Kir: From the French "Coup de Coeur" loosely meaning, "a strike to the heart," Koo de Kir is located on the flat of Beacon Hill, just half a block off of Charles Street. Shop here for unique glassware, ceramics, and home accessories.

North End

• Acquire Boutique: A sophisticated, inviting mix of modern and vintage home accessories and gifts. In addition to unique and industrial items, store owner Nicole Dalrymple searches out unique pieces from independent designers from the UK, Japan and the US.
• Shake the Tree: This lifestyle boutique mixes clothing and accessories with home decor and tabletop. You'll find Thomas Paul platters, Pantone mugs, lamps by Lights Up, and Archipelago candles.

South End

• Aunt Sadie's: A good source for hostess gifts, birthday presents, housewarming gifts, and the occasional self-indulgence. The cheeky displays, friendly staff, and lovely South End location make shopping here a pleasurable experience.
• Tour de France: Textile designer Sylvain Messe de Regnier imbues his shop and products with his reverence for the French practice of mixing old with new. The price point is on the high end but you can find gifts and smaller objects for under $20.
• Garage Sale: This consignment shop's typical M.O. is to price their items at 50 percent off the original retail price, giving you more affordable "design within reach." Co-owners Nancy Farrington and Leslie Kaplan curate the selection, focusing on modern and contemporary pieces.
• Lekker: The space is chock full of products — from tableware to lighting and furniture — but it doesn't feel overwhelming. It also doesn't feel familiar. The lovely Lekker folks take pride in offering collections you won't find everywhere else.
• Hudson: Interior designer Jill Goldberg describes her style as a combination of "classic New England and casual Californian." Her South End shop has a carefully curated mix of sofas, lighting, artwork and accessories.
• Diseño: The shop features a mix of imports from Brazil, Argentina, Peru and Chile, as well as modern furniture and lots of leather upholstery. You'll find lots of natural materials, neutral tones, rich textures, and eclectic accessories.

Cambridge

• Abodeon - Wonderful Eclectic in Porter Square: From mid-century furniture to handmade scarves, you can't pigeonhole the style of this 10 year-old establishment. Dale and Terri Anderson, principals of Abodeon, stock their eclectic Porter Square boutique with a mix of new and vintage finds.
• Didriks: Don't let the small storefront fool you. This two-level housewares heavyweight offers one of the best selections of fine tableware we've seen in the Metro Boston area.
• Metamorphosis: This is the Cambridge sister store of Eddie's Furniture in Somerville (see other neighborhoods below), and it continues Eddie's tradition of giving old pieces some TLC with a fresh coat of paint or a new skin of fresh fabric on upholstered goods.
• Reside: The store is warm, cozy and chock full of amazing mid-century finds including big names like George Nakashima, Alvar Aalto, Herman Miller, Dunbar and Knoll. They also have a lovely collection of vintage accessories for those not shopping for furniture.
• Cambridge Antique Market: They have five floors of affordable treasures from 150 dealers, many of whom offer discounts of 10-50 percent off the merchandise. Be sure to bring a check or cash since you'll get a better deal if you pay that way.
• Greenward in Cambridge: Located just a few blocks from Porter Square, Greenward is in a nondescript building. Once you step inside, you'll find products paper goods, housewares, clothing, pet supplies, and laptop sleeves — all of it “eco-modern.”
• Door Store: They specialize in custom wood furniture in a multitude of finishes and options so you’ll be able to customize your piece exactly the way you want to. Tables are very reasonably priced for veneers and laminates but can get pricey quickly when moving to solid woods.

Other Neighborhoods

• The Dutch Bicycle Company: Located up in Somerville, they stock the classic Velorbis frames, but they also have other hard-to-find lines including SÖGRENI (Holland), Johnny Loco (Holland), Sorte Jernhest (Denmark), and CoBi Bike (Holland).
• Eddie’s New & Used Furniture: This unassuming storefront in Somerville, MA, offers a deep inventory of ridiculously affordable rejuvenated secondhand pieces. Eddie's niche is repairing and painting antique, retro or vintage pieces with eye-popping water-based paints.
