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 Garden, 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.
