Back Bay

Back Bay

"Once a tidal bay, this elegant Boston neighborhood is filled with Victorian brownstones and National Historic Landmark buildings, such as Trinity Church. The area also has lots of posh shops and restaurants, particularly along Newbury Street where you’ll find art galleries, edgy boutiques, and designer stores, like Chanel and Giorgio Armani. In many ways, the Back Bay could be considered the heartbeat of Boston, due to the density of shops, hotels, residences, and iconic structures such as the Boston Public Library and the John Hancock Building, the tallest building in New England. Copley Place and the Prudential Center are two big indoor shopping malls. The latter also houses Eataly Boston, a large Italian dining and gourmet food emporium selling everything from bottarga and burrata to crunchy chocolate-coated torrone. Back Bay is also where you’re most likely to spot a celebrity and where the New England Patriots’ quarterback, Tom Brady, lives with his family — so keep your eyes peeled." - MATADOR_NETWORK
