New to Back Bay: Boston’s Latest Business Arrivals This Fall

Sep 29

Back Bay’s appeal extends well beyond its beautiful brownstones. It is found in the neighborhood’s daily rituals: a morning coffee on Boylston Street, an afternoon browsing Newbury Street, or dinner just a short walk from home. This fall, new restaurants, boutiques, and anticipated openings are bringing fresh reasons to explore one of Boston’s most distinctive neighborhoods.

From French Riviera-inspired dining to Parisian chocolate and outdoor essentials, here are five arrivals to have on your radar.

LPM Restaurant & Bar: A Taste of the French Riviera

Now open on the second floor of Four Seasons Hotel One Dalton Street, LPM Restaurant & Bar introduces its French Riviera-inspired dining experience to Boston. Its Mediterranean influences and elegant setting add a new destination to Back Bay’s restaurant scene.

For neighborhood residents, the appeal is having another special evening within easy reach. Whether planning a celebratory dinner or gathering with friends, LPM brings an international perspective to dining close to home.

La Maison du Chocolat: Parisian Indulgence on Boylston Street

La Maison du Chocolat’s new Back Bay boutique brings the French chocolatier to 776C Boylston Street. Known for its chocolate collections, including ganache truffles and other confections, the brand adds a refined stop to the neighborhood’s shopping landscape.

Think a thoughtful host gift, something special for a celebration, or a small indulgence during an afternoon in the city. It is the kind of addition that makes an ordinary neighborhood outing feel a little more memorable.

Fjällräven & Co.: Outdoor Style Meets Newbury Street

At 304 Newbury Street, the new Fjällräven & Co. store introduces a collection spanning Fjällräven, Royal Robbins, Devold, and Hanwag. The concept brings several outdoor brands together in one space, complementing Fjällräven’s separate brand store at 165 Newbury Street.

For a neighborhood where city walks and weekend escapes are both part of the lifestyle, the arrival feels especially fitting. It offers another place to explore practical layers and outdoor essentials as cooler weather approaches.

Brooks Running: An Upcoming Addition for Active City Living

Brooks Running is bringing a new store to 408 Newbury Street, with a grand opening celebration scheduled for October 9. The upcoming location adds a dedicated running destination to Back Bay’s retail mix.

With the Charles River Esplanade nearby, running is already woven into the neighborhood’s rhythm. This arrival offers another connection between Newbury Street’s shopping scene and the active lifestyle many residents enjoy.

Daily Provisions: A Neighborhood Café to Watch

Daily Provisions has announced a Back Bay location at 501 Boylston Street. The all-day café concept is known for coffee, signature crullers, breakfast sandwiches, and a menu that extends into lunch and dinner. Its Back Bay arrival is one to watch as opening details develop.

There is something particularly appealing about a neighborhood café that can become part of the everyday routine. A quick breakfast, a casual lunch, or coffee between appointments adds convenience and character to living locally.
