Area Daily: Stroll Through Newton Centre, Boston, MA

If shopping’s your thing, a stroll through Boston’s Newton Centre is a must the next time you’re in Beantown. Here are our top picks for an afternoon jaunt:

Start your day at Johnny’s Luncheonette. They serve everything from omelets to oatmeal and everything in between. It’s hard to find a great diner these days and Johnny’s even accommodates all the diet crazes or crazies that pass through. (30 Langley Rd)

Next hit National Jean Company. They pretty much stock it all at National Jean and not only do they carry it but they actually know about the product too. (34 Langley Rd)

On to Alan Bilzerian: the place to go to find interesting forward-thinking fashions from Yoji Yammamoto, Lanvin and Rick Owens, including their in-house label by Be Bilzerian. They also happen to have one of the very best selections of James Perse around. (1217 Centre St)

Take a break at Pie, a cozy new eatery with great Strawberry Rhubarb and Boston Cream Pies (796 Beacon St), or Big Sky Bakery, known for their soups, breads, and famous Granola. (105 Union St)

End at Stash, edgy rock-n-roll accessories hard to find anywhere else in Boston. (63A Union St)
