Restaurant rows, student streets and a growing campus
Much of Allston’s frontline work is in restaurants, bars and shops. Allston Village, on Harvard Avenue between Commonwealth Avenue and Cambridge Street, and Brighton Avenue toward Union Square and Packard’s Corner are lined with places to eat from around the world, including a cluster of Korean restaurants and businesses.
Lower Allston, north of the Mass Pike by the Charles River, holds Harvard Business School, Harvard’s athletic fields and new campus buildings, and Western Avenue has a large supermarket. Many residents are students and young renters, and with so many leases ending together in late summer, moving and cleaning work picks up then.
The Green Line B branch runs along Commonwealth Avenue, stopping at Babcock Street, Packard’s Corner, Harvard Avenue and Griggs Street. The 57 bus follows Brighton Avenue and Cambridge Street, the 66 runs along Harvard Avenue, and the 70 and 86 cover Western Avenue. Boston Landing station is just over the line in Brighton.
