North End

With dozens of eateries serving homemade pasta, fresh-baked bread, cannoli and cappuccino, the North End is infused with the flavor of its rich Italian history. Colonial-era sites are located throughout Boston's oldest residential neighborhood, including Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church and Copp's Hill Burying Ground. The North End comes alive in the summertime with feasts, festivals and processions.
