Exploring Brookline: From Coolidge Corner to JFK’s Birthplace along Harvard Street

🌆🚶‍♂️ Our walk continues from Coolidge Corner down Harvard Street toward TJ Maxx, located near Commonwealth Avenue. Along the way, we pass by several popular spots like the beloved Kupel’s Bagels, a Brookline institution famous for its fresh bagels and Jewish-style baked goods. However, the highlight of this walk is our detour through a residential neighborhood to visit the John F. Kennedy National Historic Site, which marks the birthplace of the 35th President of the United States. While the home was closed, we take a moment to admire the exterior of this historic landmark.
