Tremont Street begins in the center of Boston near Government Center and it then slashes its way through the city to the southwest suburbs of Boston. As you begin on your way out of the city, Tremont Street takes you along the eastern border of The Boston Commons. From there you follow the street into the Theatre District where bountiful opportunities present itself for various types of entertainment, be it a musical, a play, or an opera. Once Tremont Street crosses the Massachusetts Turnpike, it enters a more residential area full of attractive apartments, various shops, and excellent restaurants that Mission Hill and Boston's South End are proud to display.
