SHOP HIGHLIGHT
The Aesop store in the Superette is remarkable.

Yes - I said it. The Aesop store is unbelievable: a truly captivating blend of modern design and relaxing aromas. Store visitors are greeted by a friendly staff and carefully curated selection of skincare and beauty products that have made Aesop worth $2.5 billion.

Put simply, a visit to Aesop's Seaport Boston store is not just a shopping experience; it's a sensory journey. One that culminates in the absolute bonfire of a wealth flex that is showcasing Aesop hand soap on your kitchen counter.

No - this isn’t me trying to position us for a sponsorship with Aesop.

Yes - I’ve heard they like to sponsor extremely handsome and down-to-earth weekly newsletter writers.

No - I won’t be mad if you forward this to the Aesop team and beg them, on my behalf, to become our next TSJ Partner. 😁 

Aesop hand soap - the ultimate flex.

SEAPORT FACTS
Did you know candy used to be one of Seaport’s main exports?

The New England Confectionary Company used to call Seaport home. Necco was established in 1901 as the result of a merger among several Boston-based confectionery brands, some of which traced their roots back to the 1840s. Necco gained its reputation primarily from its signature, namesake treat, Necco Wafers, which you’ll recognize if you’ve ever ventured into the legendary 1856 Country Store in Centerville, MA. In May 2018, Round Hill Investments LLC acquired Necco for $17.3 million.

SEAPORT RANKINGS
In honor of National Pizza Month, let’s tackle tomato pie.

To be honest, this is more like a list of spots that happen to serve pizza. Hand up. We get that; however, in this life you make do with what you can, and Seaport is no New Haven.

READER REPLIES
