Itinerary and highlights
We'll explore high-quality artisan and ethnic products, along with freshly-prepared foods from independent merchants at the Boston Public Market.
Hanover Street, once a Native American path, now a vital Boston thoroughfare, renamed in 1708 after the House of Hanover, hosts Little Italy's Italian culture and played a role in the American Revolution, featuring landmarks like St. Stephen’s Church and the Concert Hall.
A historical plaque at 256 Hanover Street in Boston's North End commemorates the trial and execution of Italian anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti on August 23, 1972
We'll take a moment to eat at this spot full of history. North Square has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since 1961, greeting visitors to the North End with historic charm.
