Also worth the detour is Paul Revere's house, very easy to find. For those who love pastry, there is Mike Pastry close by.

Loved walking the freedom trail. Very Very easy to follow and a surprise around very corner. Great Architecture and wonderful step back in Time. Great for families who want to walk and explore.

Don't miss the North End. Take a walk down Hanover Street. It's full of wonderful Italian restaurants, bakeries, and bars. It's easy to do the Old North Church, Paul Revere's House, Copp's Hill Cemetery, and all-day noshing there. Highly recommend Mike's Bakery.

The north end is a great place to stroll and people watch. Also great restaurants ranging from pizza to fine dining. Would love to come back during one of the many festivals in the summer.

Some vaguely interesting boutiques, but mostly restaurants - and more restaurants. And laundromats. Tons and tons of laundromats! Very good cappucino at Cafe dello Sport on Hanover, but if you're trying to decide between North End and something else, try the something else.

Good old fashioned charm- brick cobblestone streets and charming buildings and italian delis and restaurants. A neighborhood where everyone knows each other. Fun for an afternoon and dinner.

Hanover street is one restaurant after another. Primarily Italian cuisine. A local told me that all the restaurants are good in the North End, so I should pick an establishment based on price and menu options. We had a great meal at Il Villagio. This is a very small Italian restaurant which holds maybe 30 diners. Very reasonably priced. Walk... More

Boston is my favorite city and the North End is part of the reason. Walking the Freedom Trail and seeing all the historic areas is truly an experience as is the Food up on Hanover Street. There is so much to see and do and the food is just wonderful. Make sure you are up for a walk......it's long but... More
