"Rodeo Drive of the East"

According to Patrick Quinn, Newbury Street is "known as the 'Rodeo Drive of the East' and serves as Boston's representative of fashion and style, on par with the most exclusive districts of San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York. The street is home to an eclectic mix of independent shops and high-end fashion and dining establishments. Broad sidewalks, storefronts that extend into the sidewalk and street vendors all encourage a wide mix of people to traverse the street."
