The North End of Boston transports you to a small town in Italy. It is a major tourist attraction for its history, churches, and proximity and accessibility to downtown and the Waterfront, yet the North End maintains a true neighborhood feel and a vibrant energy. While it can be challenging to get a lot for your money in terms of real-estate, what you do get is a seemingly endless variety of restaurants, coffee shops, bakeries, grocery stores, and parks. Even if you don't live in the North End, don't miss out on the many Feasts that go on during the summer!
