Fantastic street full of boutiques and top designer brand names that read like a who's who of the runway royal family. If you want top names, a visit to Newbury Street is a must.

Enjoy walking from the Public Garden down to Copley Square and seeing all these upscale shops and some nice cars parked on the street. Makes for a pleasant afternoon stroll on a relaxing lazy day with some fun window shopping.

Since this was two weeks after the marathon day bombing, our visit took on special significance. First the fun stuff: We ate brunch at Met on Grand which was very good. Walked the entire length of Newbury street from the Public Garden to Mass. Ave. There is something for everyone to window shop or grab a snack or drop lots... More

Upscale boutiques next to upscale consignment shops...what could be better? There are also salons and cafes mixed in. At one end you have the Public Garden/ Boston Common and the other direction leads you to Copley Square as well. Parallel to Boylston Street.

Beautiful street in the Back Bay with many shops and restaurants. There is a mixture of small, independently owned shops/restaurants and chain stores. Many places offer outdoor seating in the warmer months. The architecture of many of the buildings is interesting. It is worth a stroll on a nice day.

This is a great street to grab some food or a coffee and watch the people walking by. Everything is overpriced but could be worth paying a little extra in the summer time to enjoy the surroundings.

When parents come to Boston to visit their kiddies in college this is where they go. Lots of good shopping and places to eat. Great people watching, lots of strollers and well dresses mommies.

We had so much fun strolling through the little shops on Newbury Street. The cafe's and little shops all smelled so wonderful. We went on a gorgeous early spring day and everyone was out and about and generally very happy. There is metered street parking but it was full even at 9 am on Easter Sunday! I suggest taking the...

Just swell. Outside dining. Inside shopping. The common is right at the end of the street for when you realize you can't afford anything on Newbury St and you need to just go lay on the grass or something else that is free.
