Boston is a walkers city in the Spring. Flowers bloom in mid April.
A pleasant walk is The Paths of Famous Artists
The Trail of the Artists starts in Boston Common with a walk through the flowered
and tree-lined paths to the Boston Public Gardens, famed for the swan boats
and spring flowers.
Through the park you enter Newbury Street and a mile of boutiques, fine art
galleries and sidewalk cafés.
The Copley Society, America's oldest art association, sponsors exhibits that
once included the work of John Singer Sargent, Claude Monet, Winslow Homer
and James McNeil Whistler. Such private galleries as the Wentworth, Dyansen,
and the Galerie d'Orsay carry on the tradition, along with the Guild of Boston
Artists, whose roots go back to Tarbell, Benson and Gammell.
One block to the south, the fountain and gardens of Copley Square rim the
Gothic Trinity Church, which reflects in the mirrored 62-story John Hancock
Building.
A half block west, John Singer Sargent celebrated religion with a huge 1890's
mural project at the Boston Public Library. Half a block to the south the entrance
to the Westin Hotel leads to a mile of glassed-in atrium housing fine shops
hotels and restaurants. Within the walkway, the Marriott Hotel offers a brunch
where the chef will cook your omelet to-order. Or try the fish at the Legal
Seafood Restaurant, both consistently ranked the best dining in Boston. Option:
the Sushi Bar on the second-floor atrium of the Marriott.
Enter the Prudential Building's glass-enclosed mall, which leads to the 50th-story
skywalk observation deck.
