Jersey St, Fenway / Kenmore

Mostly residential, this street runs from The Back Bay Fens and Park Drive up to Fenway Park (north of Boylston St, Jersey St actually becomes Yawkey Way, but it’s the same street). Those are two awesome attractions for visitors to Boston. Fenway is of course a major landmark; The Fens is a salt marsh turned park that’s pretty neat to walk around in. First-time visitors to the city might want to check out both.

There is a really good Thai place on this street. There are a number of old apartment buildings which are nice and the neighborhood is pretty quiet. Fenway Park is nearby as well as a number of stores, colleges, museums, and local transportation. It can get noisy on days that there is a baseball game, but otherwise is usually pretty quiet.

Yawkey Way is the adress for the Boston Red Sox famed Fenway Park. This tiny street, just two blocks long, sleeps most of the time, but when the Red Sox are playing at home watch out. In recent years the Sox have been closing down Yawkey Way to traffic so that street vendors and game goers can take over. Also located here is the Red Sox's gift shop. This huge shop with everything Sox is open even when there is no game going on and a good place for a visitor to buy a hat or shirt. If you are thirsty and over 21 stop by Who's on First for a drink just don't forget to go to the game!
