Downtown Crossing encompasses the area between Tremont Street and the Financial District. The main thoroughfares are Summer, Winter and Washington Streets; their intersection is the location of Macy's and Filene's Basement. Fruit and flower vendors, hat and sweater kiosks, jewelry, tie and flag stands add to the color and commotion.
