One of my favorite things to do in boston is to drive into the North End – Boston’s offering of the “Little Italy” concept.  As Boston’s most “authentic” Italian neighborhood, you will find yourself surrounded by the sites and sounds and – probably most strikingly – the smells of the Old Country.  Along this close-knit communities quaint and narrow Cobblestone Streets you will find traditional Italian restaurants, bakeries, pastry shops, and even a couple bars and comedy clubs.  The neighborhood’s park, named after famous former resident Paul Revere, is part of the city’s network of green space and serves as a meeting place for the community as well as the site of many summertime festivals and get- to-gethers.  The next time you find yourself in Boston — be it Winter, Summer, Spring, or Fall – make sure you stop by the North End and treat yourself to Canoli in one of Boston’s most colorful hidden gems.
