What is the most beautiful neighborhood in the Boston area?

We asked you last week which building in Boston was the most beautiful and, boy, did you respond. Now we want to know: Which neighborhood in the region is the most beautiful?

Think gorgeous or unique—or gorgeously unique—architecture; or fantastic public amenities such as parks and plazas. Or striking features such as easily recognized sculptures or relics of the area’s storied past.

Perhaps it’s a neighborhood that simply came together right during the course of the decades and centuries, an organically grown collection of blocks striking in its aesthetics.

Sound off in the comments section below. And happy Friday Open Thread!
