Boston’s Newbury Street began life as a residential area in the mid 19th century. Located in the Black Bay area of the city it runs from the Boston Public Garden to Massachusetts Avenue. Although its transformation into a trendy shopping district probably started in the 1970s, the first retail shop was opened there in the early 20th century and was followed by several others.

This brownstone lined street generates a lively buzz with its collection of independent stores, high end retailers, restaurants and more.
