Exploring Boston's North End

There will be a lot of things you will want to explore if you are going to be taking a trip to Boston sometime soon - including the Freedom Trail, the Back Bay, and Fenway Park - but one of the most wonderful areas to make sure you see during your time in Boston is the North End. A large portion of Boston's Italian population calls the North End home, and as you might imagine, this area is full of great food, and great sights to see!

The food: There are scores of incredible, authentic Italian restaurants packed together in this area of the city, and while you cannot go wrong with most of your options, one of the best restaurants of all is Giacamo's; you will find that Giacamo's is a small restaurant, with only about 12 or 13 tables, and they do not take reservations, which means a long line out the door - but once you get inside, you will also find that the wait is more than worth it!

The dessert: Your sweet tooth will probably start calling to you when you have finished your meal, and if Giacamo's has taught you that long lines are often an indication of incredible taste, you will probably feel an impulse to visit Mike's Pastries, which always has a long line out the door; make sure you go with this impulse, as the line at Mike's moves quickly, and the cannolis from Mike's are unlike any dessert you have ever had before!

The historic: The North End - just like every other area of Boston - is full of history, and while there is plenty for you to check out, the coolest thing of all for you to make sure you visit is the Old North Church, which was such an integral part of Paul Revere's famous midnight ride.

While you will surely not find yourself disappointed with just about anything you take the time to see in Boston, you do not want to miss the North End - and when you visit the North End, you will want to make sure these three places are on your list.
