Expert Tip. In the 1800s, the two mile stretch that is now Newbury Street was underwater as part of Boston Harbor. In 1857, the harbor was filled in to create the Back Bay area of the city. Today, Newbury Street rivals its counterparts in Los Angeles and New York as one of the most prestigious and eclectic shopping strips in the country, with eight blocks of cafes, boutiques and galleries ranging from high fashion to bohemian.
