As one of the oldest cities in the United States, Boston is pretty historic! Fun attractions like the Freedom Trail do a lot to show off the rich history of the city. Perhaps one of the most famous and historic sites in the city is the majesty of the North End. It’s home to some of Boston’s famous – and most delicious – attractions! But, what is it about the North End that makes it so historical? We break it down for you below!
Big Firsts
More than anything else, the North End is home to many historic firsts. The area is considered to be one of Boston’s first residential neighborhoods, and was home to many people of elite status in the eighteenth century. This includes none other than the Midnight Ride man himself: Paul Revere! They saw it as a land with tremendous business opportunities, but many of those opportunities wouldn’t develop until much later down the road. The Revolutionary War would flip the power dynamic in that area for centuries to follow.
Food!
It would be remiss to say what makes the North End so historic without mentioning the wide variety of food options there are! The North End is one of the best places to go in the city for high-end Italian cuisine, seafood, wine and more. You may know it as the one and only home of Mike’s Pastry, too! There are so many delicious food options that you’ll have no trouble picking out a good restaurant to eat at.
Historic Sites
The North End is also home to many historic locations and sites. The aforementioned Freedom Trail can take you to locations like the USS Constitution museum and ship, the Harborwalk, the Old North Church, and Boston’s Holocaust memorial. There are plenty of historic sites to see around the North End; they’re practically around every corner! The Freedom Trail is the best way to experience it all, but you can pick and choose destinations as you please.
