agreed that this is a very convenient place to go. price is more reasonable than Wollaston or Lucky store 24/7... but i would recommend Whole Foods if you are planning to buy any juice. i love whole food's 2 for $5 orange juice bottle, compare to $3.79 or $3.99 at symphony market or lucky store.

The best convenience store in the area for NU students, but that's not saying much. It's only open till 2 AM, but the prices are much better than Wollaston's and Lucky Store 24. Your probably better off heading to Shaw's or Stop and Shop for most things in here, but it's a fair alternative if you just need an item or two.

I enjoy Symphony Market. It's conveniently located right on the corner of Gainsborough and Huntington, it's open pretty late and it has got a good variety or food, drink, household and smoking products.

This is just your typical convenience store type place.  They do offer a few more things than Store 24, such as more fruit, etc., so they are sometimes a refreshing alternative to Store 24 across the street.  There are tons of drunken college kids swarming there on the weekends, so if you aren't into dealing with that, avoid this place at that time.  Prices are typical of these kind of stores - pretty inflated.

Convenient location for NU students.  Quick place to swing in when you realized you got the beer but forgot the cups or pong balls.  I go here for that as well as a quick energy drink or late night munchies, etc.

A lot nicer than the 24, although not open 24 hours a day (I think only til 2am), this place has won me over as a customer. The employees are great, and the owner himself works there, so you know he takes pride in his business (I think he just opened a deli down near the corner of Hemenway and Boylston, too). You can find more of a selection here than Store24, like Gardenburger dinners, which I haven't even seen in Stop Shop. Overpriced, but so are all convenience stores.

Very convenient and cheaper than it's close neighbor of Wollaston's.  They have a wide selection of food and drinks and it's conducive location makes it easy to run into if you forgot something.

What?  Huh??  $4.79 for a tub of Haagen-Dazs?  And I thought Whole Foods is a rip-off!  Being lazy walking to Trader Joes (where you can get 2 tubs for $5), I decided to drop in here and get a pint to quickly subdue my sweet craving.  Knowing that the price will be somewhat higher, I estimated that it'll be the same as Whole Foods at $3.79.  Boy was I wrong, and very suprised.What gets me about this place is that they didn't label the price, neither on the shelves nor on the containers; which is why I will never return here again.  I absolutely hate places where I can only know the price when at the cash register.

AKA BEVERAGE HEAVEN!When I head out for lunch I usually run up Huntington and only have about a half an hour or less to grab my food and head back to the office. Lots of the places along the strip here have a meek beverage selection -- one type of smoothie drink -- but not the other. Gatorade but not Power Water. Pepsi products but not Coke -- you get the idea!Well The Symphony Market has it all! The an entire wall of the store is dedicated to refrigerated beverage goodness AND they have 3 other coolers around the store! They carry RockStar and RedBull, Nantucket Nectar, Ondwalls, Honest Tea, Lipton Tea, Gatorade, Powerade and a bunch or products I generally don't see other places!I have not actually checked out too much else in the store, but I love that they have a whole line of Orbit gum and it seems to carry a lot more items that your typical convince store. Hookah pipes and tobacco products anyone? Yes, its not nearly as much as a real market, but shelves are stacked high with items and pretty good selection for something open till 2am! I went to Emerson and live in the Back Bay and none of the convenience stores near me have ever had this good a selection!Its also the perfect place to stop before a picnic because they even sell whiffle bats sets!!

Has all kinds of stuff you need. Indian food too.Not bad on the prices. I visit this place often. Great for small items or emergency buys.
