Newbury Street

Newbury Street is Boston’s best-known shopping street, running eight blocks through Back Bay from the Public Garden toward Massachusetts Avenue. Its brownstones house fashion boutiques, niche art galleries, specialty shops, salons, fine dining, cafes and business services. Luxury labels and fine jewelers cluster near the Public Garden end, and the street draws shoppers for both window shopping and store-hopping from one end to the other.

The street’s directory groups businesses by accessories, apparel, art and culture, food and drink, health and beauty, home decor and pop-ups. Tenants range from international names such as Tiffany, Zegna, Akris and Brunello Cucinelli to smaller jewelers and makers such as Colby Davis of Boston, a mother-daughter enamel jewelry brand. Institutions are part of the mix too, including Emmanuel Episcopal Church, and the directory also lists events.
