If this is a serious question then I suggest you search and add any one of a number of free apps, including an FCC app, that identifies the location you want to fly in and the restrictions in place. For Commonwealth Avenue in Boston there are over 300 advisories (depending on where on Commonwealth you are) and at least 25 restricted areas. In some cases, if you have a Part 107 license, you can seek a waiver even over a restricted space.

It took less than a minute with the AIRMAP app to garner that critical information.

My advice? Do not attempt to fly in a city, any crowded area, or near any common sense sensitive area unless you understand regulations that pertain to both the licensed and unlicensed operator, and have consulted any number of free sources that delineate regulated airspace.
