Where will you find the Boston Babe today? She's at Post Office Square.


For the last 13 years of my career I have been blessed to work in two beautiful districts of Boston: Back Bay and most recently Post Office Square.  Ranked #8 on the Today Show's 2017 20 best cities to live in, this Urban jungle has an impressive amount of green space. One of my favorite activities has been to explore this metropolis on foot.  My latest discovery is Norman B. Leventhal park in the cranny of Congress St, Milk St. and Pearl St. Nearly invisible in the dead of winter, it transforms into a lush tropical oasis by Spring.  This jewel is stylized with eye candy featuring gardens galore, a contemporary water fountain, and a 143 ft long vine covered trellis accented with marble columns. Heavenly!  There's even a cafe and a string quartet.  Given its smaller acreage (1.7) and popularity with the lunch crowd, it is best to visit this green space in the morning and afternoon past 1pm.
