Back Bay is an officially recognized neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is most famous for its rows of Victorian brownstone homes — considered one of the best preserved examples of 19th-century urban design in the United States — as well as numerous architecturally significant individual buildings, and cultural institutions such as the Boston Public Library. It is also a fashionable shopping destination (especially Newbury and Boylston Streets, and the adjacent Prudential Center and Copley Place malls) and home to some of Boston's tallest office buildings, the Hynes Convention Center, and numerous major hotels.
If you're into glassblowing, Simon Pearce is a must. Simon grew up in Ireland and studied at the Royal College of Art in London before moving to Vermont. The Simon, his brand and his team have grown since the humble beginnings in 1971, but the distinct style and quality haven't changed. Our favorite are the Stratton gaelic style glassware.
