The city center, where the subway lines meet
Downtown packs a lot of frontline work into a small area. Downtown Crossing’s pedestrian blocks of Washington, Winter and Summer Streets hold department and chain stores, a supermarket and a food court. Faneuil Hall Marketplace and Quincy Market add food counters, restaurants and shops, and the Financial District’s office towers and hotels need cleaners, cooks, front-desk staff and housekeepers.
Chinatown, around Beach Street and Harrison Avenue, is full of Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants and markets. On its southern edge, Tufts Medical Center sits between Chinatown and the Theatre District, where theaters along Washington Street and Tremont Street bring evening crowds to the restaurants and bars nearby.
The Red, Orange, Green and Blue Lines all meet downtown, at Park Street, Downtown Crossing, State and Government Center. The Silver Line leaves from South Station and Chinatown, and Commuter Rail trains end at South Station, so a downtown shift can be reached from much of Greater Boston without a car.
