This street is very close to us and has lots of food, shopping, and Boston famous Jp Licks ice cream. This is a funky, diverse, LGBT and family Friendly neighborhood - worth exploring. It runs parallel to the Jamaica Pond so you can have a beautiful walk and cut over (from the boat house) to get a coffee, find a lunch spot or go to one of the thrift stores.
