“Allston boutique” is not an oxymoron. Tiny Pixi is H&M's baby sister—same hip, slinky clubwear, but without the teeming masses of shoppers.

If Jpop is your thing, Every Little Thing (or E.L.T.) specializes in Hello Kitty! and other Sanrio products (plastic novelties with cute animé characters).

Wang is brilliant and I recommend you go to him to get a diagnosis. He does this just by looking at your tongue and taking your pulse. It's amazing/creepy - he tells you what was wrong with you instead of the other way around. Often it's quick to see him as a walk-in, you don't need an appointment or anything. He'll prescribe tea which is expensive, tastes like dirt, but will get you back on track to health. The medicinal pills are cheap if you'd rather do that.
