Known as Boston's Little Italy, the Historic North End is the "original Boston" where Italian immigrants flocked a century ago and Paul Revere met with the Sons of Liberty in local taverns to plot the American Revolution.
Shortly after the American Revolution the waves of immigrants began arriving in the North End. First Irish and Eastern Europeans in the early and mid-19th century, then in the 1870s, hoards of Italians began arriving. Today the Italian influence on the neighborhood strongly remains. The area is just one mile square and the narrow, winding streets add to the neighborhood's old-world feel as many have maintained their original 17th-century layouts. The scent of garlic floats through the air, and Italian restaurants, groceries, and bakeries line the streets welcoming locals and visitors alike to partake in the tasty goodness that awaits their buds.
