Downtown
Map of Downtown
The city's retail and financial districts constitute Downtown, anchored by Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market on the north; Chinatown, the Theater District, and South Station on the south; Tremont Street and the Common on the west; and the harbor and the New England Aquarium on the east. The main commercial thoroughfare is Washington Street. Elizabeth Pain, the model for Nathaniel Hawthorne's scarlet-letter-wearing Hester Prynne, is buried at King's Chapel here, not far from the Theater District and the Old State House.
