Newbury
Street
[website] Eight blocks of high-end boutiques, hair salons,
and galleries. Makes for a fabulous day of shopping and dining.
This shopping street runs the length of the Back Bay
neighborhood. Often called "the Rodeo Drive of the East,"
Newbury St. is a wonderfully dense avenue colored by historic
brownstones and lots of shops and restaurants. Extremely
expensive near Boston Common, but gradually becoming more
affordable as you move toward Massachusetts Avenue. One block
north from Boylston St., which is similar but less so. Vehicular
traffic can be very slow on Newbury St. itself; take parallel
streets unless you have time to see the sights from your car.
Accessible on the Green Line from the Arlington, Copley, and
Hynes stations.
