North End - Boston,
Massachusetts
Home to American patriot Paul Revere, the North End is one of
Boston's most historic neighborhoods. Traditionally a first stop for
immigrants arriving in Boston, the North End is most well known as
an enclave of Italian immigrants. Today the North End is populated
by a mixture of Italian Americans and young professionals who are
attracted to the neighborhood's tight-knit feel and access to
downtown. Tourists come from near and far to sample authentic
Italian cuisine, enjoy a cannoli or a cappuccino, and explore its
narrow streets. In recent years, a number of boutiques have opened
in the North End specializing in everything from trendy clothing to
jewelry. The North End also offers access to Boston's waterfront
along Commercial Street. Residents and visitors can enjoy strolling
and relaxing in the newly renovated Christopher Columbus Park, and
during summer evenings the park is host to a performing arts series.
