Bay Village | By Kate Sullivan

Bay Village is Boston’s smallest officially recognized neighborhood. The majority of the residences in Bay Village are traditional brick rowhouses, similar
to those seen in Beacon Hill but on a reduced scale. The area was originally home to the craftsmen who constructed the impressive residences in Beacon
Hill, explaining the many architectural similarities between the two of them… and also the reason that the homes are generally much smaller.
The neighborhood is conveniently located between the South End and Back Bay, providing access to the best that both neighborhoods have to offer.


While residents of this area have access to both the South End and Back Bay, Bay Village has several non residential highlights of its own including:

  • Erbaluce
    • Located on Church Street, Erbaluce is a fine dining gem, serving up seasonal italian fare.
  • Jacques Cabaret
  • Da Vinci
    • Located on Columbus Ave, Da Vinci is an upscale italian restaurant that specializes in fresh handmade pastas and other classic
      italian dishes.
  • Smith and Wollensky
    • Located on Arlington Street, “The Back Bay Castle” location of this chophouse chain is known for its premium steaks and seafood,
      and service to match. From 4-7 Monday-Friday check out the $1 oysters!
  • Mike and Patty’s
    • Located on the corner of Church and Fayette, Mike and Patty’s is a neighborhood favorite known for their unique and delicious breakfast
      sandwiches.
