Boston’s
first neighborhood, the
past and present meet every
day in the North End. The
streets are narrow and
compact, and there is
history – Old North Church,
Paul Revere’s house, burial
grounds – seemingly around
every corner. The
neighborhood is packed with
restaurants, virtually all
of them Italian, and the
neighborhood is still deeply
rooted in Italian culture.
Residents hold annual
festivals (also known as
feasts) to honor patron
saints of Italian villages.
For decades, the Central
Artery separated the North
End from the rest of the
city visually; now that the
elevated highway has been
torn down the difference is
stunning.
Paul
Revere Mall
Cyrus
Dallin’s equestrian
statue of Paul Revere is
the focal point of the
Paul Revere Mall (also
known as "The Prado"),
which sits between
Hanover and Unity
Streets. The statue was
sculpted in 1885, but
wasn't cast until 1940.
Street
scenes in the North End
You will
find many long-time
residents of the North
End sitting outside the
shops along Salem Street
and Prince Street.
During hot summer
evenings, it's not
uncommon to see games of
dominoes and cards
played on tables set up
in the street.
Paul
Revere house
The North
End is filled with
history, including a
number of spots dating
back to the American
Revolution.
Paul Revere, famous both
as a patriot and as a
silversmith, lived in
this house, which he
purchased in 1770,
nearly a century after
it was originally built.
This is Boston’s oldest
surviving clapboard
frame house. Now a
museum, the Paul Revere
House, located at 19
North Square, is open
daily from 9:30 a.m. to
5:15 p.m.

Welcome to North End - Terramia's

North End:
"Little Italy"
The North End is
rich in both
history and
cuisine.
Surrounded by
water on three
sides, the North
End was an early
hub of
commercialism
and was the site
of the first
settlements in
the new city of
Boston. Over the
years, the North
End has been
home to many
ethnic groups,
and today is
best known for
its strong
Italian
heritage.
The North End is
also the home to
more than 80
different
restaurants.

On April 18,
1775, two famous
lanterns were
hung from the
steeple of the
Old North Church
by Robert
Newman, the
church's sexton.
The lanterns
("one if by
land, two if by
sea") signaled
that British
troops were on
the move toward
Lexington and
Concord; Paul
Revere was one
of the riders
who spread the
news that night.
The church,
built in 1723,
is still an
active Episcopal
church and is
open to the
public.
