  1. A

    Apple Store

    This bright, airy store offers iPads, iPods and everything else for Mac enthusiasts splayed across butcher-block tables. The user-friendly setup comes with plenty of clued-up staff to answer product questions, a ‘genius bar’ on the 2nd floor to sort out equipment issues and free internet access on machines throughout the store.

    Best Buy

    A convenient superstore for those looking to pick up laptop or cell phone supplies, Best Buy offers good prices on things like SIM cards, flash drives, hand-held computing devices and more. Come with a clear idea of what you want, as it can be difficult to flag down staff for help. The store is in the Hancock Center.

    Central Camera

    Whatever your photos needs, Central Camera has the answer. If you’re traveling with a shutterbug, be sure to avoid this place until the very end of your trip, lest you risk seeing the sights all by yourself. Once photo-holics step inside the long, narrow store, it will be days before they surface again.

    Midwest Stereo

    This is a hub for DJ gear, both used and new. If you’re looking for a basic mixer or a Technics turntable (or a PA system that will quickly make you the talk of your neighborhood), this is your store.
