Stroll past 19th-century brownstones filled with boutiques, art galleries, salons and sidewalk cafes in Boston's Back Bay.
Back Bay, from the Public Garden (Arlington St) west to Brookline Ave · Boston, MA
Newbury Street runs through Boston's Back Bay from the Public Garden west to Brookline Avenue. Shops and restaurants fill the ground floors of 19th-century brownstones, many with large glass bays. Luxury names like Tiffany & Co. and Cartier cluster at the Public Garden end, and the shops turn more bohemian as you walk west. On Open Newbury Street days the stretch from Berkeley Street to Massachusetts Avenue closes to cars so you can walk down the middle.
