Seems like everytime I go to Boston, I end up on this street at least once a day! Love the shops (Especially FireFly) and the restaurants. More

Newbury Street is a mixed bag. Visually, it looks like one of those icon streets you see out of the movies that promote an area. It's a really quaint looking, busy street, with lots of shops and outdoor restaurants. It's a good area to bring someone visiting Boston, and only a block from the Prudential Mall. It's got a lot...

It is so much fun to visit the highend boutiques and dream big. Then go into Second Time Around and maybe find that your dream has come true because you found it there at price to fit your pocket book. It also has Forever Twenty One and Victoria Secrets. Really fun and interesting people watching too. More

This is a good place to eat, shop, or just walk around and window shop. A lot of the shops are brand names with the exception of a few places so you might end of splurging especially if you're going to eat here. I give this place closer to 3.5 but I cant really give it a 4 since I... More

A ton of variety. Deals to be found. Outside (no MALL!). A must visit on a sunny day. Plenty of restaurants to find refreshments at. There are a few 2nd hand shops that have incredible deals sprinkled throughout the street. You need to keep your eyes out for them, as they generally are “basement” shops. Try parking on Mass Ave...

On a beautiful April day at about 60 degrees we walked down Newbury from the Public Garden and just took in the sites. From Chanel and Louis Vuitton to Hermes and Kate Spade, there were tons of lavish shops and sidewalk cafes along with some beautiful architecture. We stopped and grabbed a hot dog from a vendor and sat on... More
