 Delightful North End by ElaineCatherine
You'll find pastry shops that can not be beat anywhere (Mike's Pastry comes to mind) and they have great cappucinos, and for dinner your choices are amazing, and I have to say that Ive never heard of anyone having a bad dinner at any restaurant in the North End.
You will also find the Old North Church where Paul Revere saw the lamps alerting the Bostonians that the British armies were coming. And there are beautiful churches to explore and lovely tucked away gardens to discover (try the one directly in front of the Old North Church behind the Paul Revere statue)

 The busy scene on Hanover
Street by Hopkid
The North End doesn't have any T stations but it's just across the bridge that spans I-93 from the Haymarket station. A better idea may be to get off at the Government Center station and ealk across City Hall Plaza, past City Hall and then the Holocaust Memorial. through the hustle and bustle of Haymarket and then across the Hanover Street bridge that will take you directly onto the main commercial street in the North End. Leave a Comment Directions: Take the T to the Haymarket station and walk over the New Chardon or New Sudbury Street bridge that cross I-93.

Stopping for a cappuccino or lunch in one of the businesses along the streets of Little Italy can be a complete departure. You could forget you are in the states. Old men sit in chairs on the street to reserve parking spaces. (they get paid to do it) You hear Italian bellowed across the street or spoken on street corners. Specialty pastries, candy, Italian ice cream....all are favorites which you will find difficult to resist. Restaurants are plentiful and usually very good. Stay with the Italian theme....try the olives! and the bread! Leave a Comment

 North End Street Scene by sarahandgareth
But mostly these days when people say 'the North End' they mean the Italian part of town. Unlike New York's Little Italy, which is more of a tourist trap than a genuine Italian neighborhood these days, the North End still has more of an Italian feel, especially on a warm day, when the residents fill the streets, and you can hear Italian spoken all around. Even on the grayest days, posters around the community make clear that Italian is very much the language of the streets.
Needless to say, there are many Italian restaurants in the area, as well as a smattering of excellent cafes that also serve up tasty Italian pastries.
This is an area to be explored slowly: there are dozens of notable sights scattered around the area, and a cappuccinno and a biscotti is the perfect pick-me-up - and save some room for a slice of great pizza or a bowl of pasta later in the evening. Leave a Comment Directions: The North End is an area all to itself, cut off from downtown by the Central Artery highway - and very soon to be reunited with the rest of Boston.Website: www.northendboston.com

The north end got a real start for Italian influence around late 1800's when immigrants came to the town to help construct the new State House. They were masons, skilled in mosaic tile floor laying and making and placing stained glass. That took some 2-3 years, and they located in the north end to live in the interim. Before that the area was known as a peninsula that had not real value and the lower socioeconomic people lived there. Then came the Irish in early 1800's and they settled. Later the Italians also integrated to the area. What a history. Read the script attached

Those of us who are old enough can still remember the commercial. We can picture the kid in our minds, running up the streets like a maniac while his mother yelled "Aaaaaantho-NAY!" out a window, and all for a plate of Prince Spaghetti.
Well it all happened here: in the North End. Leave a Comment

Opened in 1976, it is a large green area, with a great children's playground. The park is also a good place for a picnic because it is not far from Fanueil Hall and its food court, where you can pick up food to go. There is also a rose garden, a dedication to Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy who was born nearby. Leave a Comment Directions: A short walk from the North End, or from Faneuil Hall/Quincy Market, along the waterfront.

The North End of Boston is very unique. It is "The Italian" Section and a real community. People still speak their native language and work in the neighborhood shops, from barber shops, to bakeries, to some of the finest Italian food anywhere.
Every August they hold the St Anthony's festival. This is always a good time and they take it seriously, with parades, dancing in the streets and authentic Italian music. You cannot have a bad time here. Leave a Comment
