North End Food Tour: Taste Boston's Italian Heritage
Overview
Welcome to the North End Food Tour! One of Boston's oldest and most important neighborhoods, the North End is most known for its multi-generation Italian-American culture, as well as its abundance of seafood, markets, and cafes. The group will have tastings at 5 different locations while learning about the North End's rich history and its contribution to the growth of Boston.
During this tour, we'll taste the following:
-Clams casino from an over 50-year-old family-run waterfront restaurant
-An Italian sub from one of Boston's most acclaimed sandwich shops
-Meatballs from a salumeria in a tucked-away alley off of Hanover St
-Florentine cannoli from a 24/7 bakery that's been a North End institution since 1926
-Tiramisu from the oldest Italian cafe in Boston
As a parting gift for joining the tour, you will receive a post-tour email highlighting my favorite places to visit, activities to enjoy, and hundreds of local food & drink options while you're in the Boston area.
