Neighborhoods in Boston

"In the late 19th century, Boston authorized landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted to turn a smelly swamp into what he named the Back Bay Fens, one of the many parks strung along Olmsted’s famous Emerald Necklace. This area also includes Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, and houses many academic institutions like Boston Latin School, the US’ oldest and first public school. As a result, the area has a student-friendly feel with lots of lively restaurants, bars, and nightclubs, particularly along Lansdowne Street. There’s also Symphony Hall, now in its 138th season and home to the Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops Orchestra, known for its rousing, fun music." - MATADOR_NETWORK
