CambridgeSide Galleria is an urban shopping center with over 120 stores (Apple Store, Macy’s, Best Buy, T.J. Maxx, H&M, A|X Armani Exchange, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Sephora and more) and restaurants (World of Beer, The Cheesecake Factory, and P.F. Chang’s among others). Located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, CambridgeSide opened in 1990. The original anchor stores were Sears, Filene's (now Macy's) and Lechmere. Lechmere closed in 1997 and it was divided into what is now Best Buy, with a portion later used by Macy's for their housewares and intimate apparel departments.

The mall was an outgrowth of the 1978 East Cambridge Riverfront Plan, which sought to revitalize the then-industrial district between Monsignor O'Brien Highway, Cambridge Parkway, and First Street. The north end of the mall is near the Museum of Science and MBTA's Lechmere Station on the Green Line "E" Branch. It is also located along the Lechmere Canal off the Charles River, from which the Charles River Boat Company operates pleasure trips. Moorings are present at the end of the Canal to allow private boats to be left for brief periods while passengers shop. CambridgeSide is the only mall in the Boston area with direct access by boat.

Some of the upscale stores are Banana Republic, J.Crew, Guess, Club Monaco, and Armani.
