Shop Til You Drop: 10 Newbury Street Stores
Newbury Street is Boston at its most chic, most expensive and most elegant. The eight blocks of Newbury Street are lined with nineteenth-century brownstones that house cool sidewalk cafes, high-end boutiques, hip art galleries, and fabulous beauty salons. The more eclectic and independent shops are generally located on the lower end of Newbury near Mass Ave; the designer boutiques like Chanel, Burberry, and Valentino are at the upper end of Newbury Street, close to the Public Garden. If you can afford to shop them- lucky you! What follows is a list of lesser-known Newbury Street shops- perfect for a fun afternoon of browsing.
