Newbury Street: Newbury Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • The most fashionable street in all of Boston, this beautiful street lined with Brownstones and shops on the ground level is definitely a place where you should find yourself during your visit to Boston.

    A very trendy street with high end shopping and dinning, you're sure to find everything and anything you little heart desires with stores like Armani, Gucci, why would you want to be anywhere else???

    You can also just take a stroll, stop in at one of the many cafes and bars and just people watch.

    Newbury Street: Shopping and dining on Newbury Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • Newbury Street in Boson - Boston

    Throughout the years, Newbury Street has evolved from an upper-class residential area to an upscale shopping district. The street's beautiful brownstone buildings are now home to hundreds of boutiques and restaurants, which have earned it the nickname of "Rodeo Drive of the East". The most expensive boutiques (Chanel, Armani, Donna Karan, Cartier, Gucci, Valentino, Yves Saint-Laurent, Hermès, Versace, Prada, Marc Jacobs...) are located at the beginning of the street, near the Boston Public Garden. As you walk down the street, however, shopping and dining both become much more affordable. In fact, we found it hard to resist the sunny patios on Newbury Street and were therefore quite happy to find more than one restaurant where we could eat lunch at a very decent price and in a great atmosphere. Loved it!

  • Tip Rating:
  • The most fashionable street in Boston. This street is full of exclusive stores, trendy restaurants and sophisticated art galleries. The Victorian townhouse architecture in this formerly residential street has been embellished to became an unique commercial area.-

    Newbury Street: Newbury Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • Take a walk down Newbury Street, Boston's centre for style and trends. All the deisgners have set up shop on this formerly residential street- Gucci, Armani, Versace...the list goes on. Cafes, bistros, record shops...it's all on Newbury. In recent years the parts of the street closest to the Public Garden have been somewhat overtaken by generic designer chain stores (there's even an 'Armani Cafe'), but much of the street remains quite interesting, including the portion pictured here near Massachusetts Avenue. At one time, the street seems to overflow with European students showing off their styles, but now locals have taken to the area as well. In fact, many girls I talk to claim they take the train to the city constantly to 'hang out on Newbury Street'. Although the street doesn't offer much of interest to me (shopping for expensive clothes and eating overpriced bagels isn't my thing), it's definately an experience that must be had while in Boston, if only to watch the stylish people pass or soak in the cafe scene and elegant atmosphere.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Newbury Street - Fashionable shops, chic café/bistros, always a 'happening' place. It's a nice walk even if you're just window shopping.

    Newbury Street: Shopping on Newberry Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • Located in the Back Bay, right off Copley Square, Newbury Street is a mix of mid to higher end shopping and many great resturants along with some more 'local' hang outs. Worth a stroll or make a day of it combining eating and shopping.

    Newbury Street: First Spiritual Temple/The...
  • Tip Rating:
  • First Spiritual Temple/The Exeter Street Theatre
    I was interested in the origins of this unique building so I did some checking on the internet. The building was built in 1884 by the First Spiritual Temple, now in Brookline,
    Massachusetts. There is a First Spiritual Temple website which tells all about spiritual mysticism. There is a story about Lenore E. Piper (1857-1950), who was considered *the foremost trance medium in the history of physical research.* The Exeter Street Theatre in the building was owned, operated, and managed by the Temple. It became famous, worldwide, and was referred to as the Grand Dame of Boston Theaters. It closed its doors quietly in 1974, with no fanfare, under the direction of Viola and Florence Berlin.

    Newbury Street: Newbury Street is a posh Mecca...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Newbury Street is a posh Mecca of power brokers, people-watchers and trendsetters. At the same time it is very user-friendly. In fact it's not just another upscale area. Bargainscan be had with Gen-X prices on the often-overlooked second floors, and you can also find salons, day spas, body-piercing studios, second-hand and vintage fashions and other funky stores. Newbury street encompasses both glamour and pop-culture.

    Newbury Street: Newbury Street - Coffee Houses and Fancy Shops
    Take a stroll along Newbury Street in Boston. It is particularly nice in the summer time when there are tons of people out on the outdoor coffee house patio. There are tons of stores for you to browse through, some of them belonging to the higher end chains. The street itself is very green and pleasant to walk on.

    Whether you want a pleasant stroll, people watch, drink coffee on the patios or shop, Newbury Street will always make for a good afternoon.
