I could be completely wrong here, but I think I know where this is...

It reminds me of a block in/near the financial district in NYC.

The caption right below the picture says Boston, MA.

There are probably plenty of similar places in New York, but a reverse image search identifies this as the Old Corner Bookstore in Boston, a historical building that apparently now houses a Chipotle.

Can confirm. I checked the author's notes in Paine's Common Sense and he specifically mentions the Chipotle in the Old Corner Bookstore.

The building is in Boston, and Thomas Paine wrote Common Sense in Philidelphia.

But it apparently is still the Chipotle where Thoreau published Walden.

Where they make cream cheese. Not burritos.
