Until the mid 1800's the 2 mile stretch of Newbury Street was under water, but now it is considered to be Boston's most enchanting streets in the neighborhood
In 1857, that part of Boston Harbor was slowly filled in to become the Back Bay section of the city. With its broad sidewalks, extended storefronts, and wide mixture of people Newbury Street shows an individuality and uniqueness that is lacking in many other commercial districts. Newbury Street has something for everyone with eight whole blocks filled with fabulous boutiques, salons, and top-of-the-line restaurants.
