Porter Square Books: Boston Edition

In the age of Amazon Prime, more and more independent brick-and-mortar bookstores haven’t stood a chance and have been forced to shutter. So when Porter Square Books, a small local bookshop that’s been operating out of Cambridge since 2004, opens a second location in Boston’s bustling (and super expensive) Seaport, that’s a major win for our city. Situated near Fan Pier, the new Porter Square Books: Boston Edition is a collaboration with creative writing nonprofit GrubStreet and features a cafe, podcast studio, stage for author events and a full calendar of writing classes for the community.
