Newbury Street is a cute, narrow street with a WIDE variety of shops. One one end you have Louis Vuitton and other high-end stores, and as you get closer to Mass Ave, you'll find trendy and boutique stores. Even if you're not shopping for anything particular, I'd suggest checking the street out for some fun sights.

Parks & Nature
Boston Common is a great park, and very well known. Nice to walk around or have a seat on a bench, and... quite possibly be offered a joint (you didn't hear that from me).
