    • Boston Newbury Street
  • by rhiannon1968
  • Send Photo to a Friend
    • Newbury Street is a posh Mecca of power brokers, people-watchers and trendsetters. At the same time it is very user-friendly. In fact it's not just another upscale area. Bargainscan be had with Gen-X prices on the often-overlooked second floors, and you can also find salons, day spas, body-piercing studios, second-hand and vintage fashions and other funky stores. Newbury street encompasses both glamour and pop-culture.
