The old versus new North End
The North End is characterized by its hole-in the-wall eateries and European village feel. This is where street vendors sell produce and fish to bargain-seeking grocery shoppers starting at 3 or 4 a.m., where people line up around the corner for a slice of pizza and where tradition runs deep, despite the wave of wealthy new residents and college kids. When Pinkberry opened one of its frozen yogurt shops on Hanover Street across from a longtime gelateria, North End residents drove the chain eatery out of town after three years. In the summertime, Hanover and Salem streets shut down for cultural festivals honoring Catholic figures like Saint Anthony. The old North End of Italian immigrants exists through its culinary offerings. But the new North End of college kids, young professionals and wealthy residents who pay millions for waterfront condos is also alive and well.
24-hour cannoli access
The North End is known around the world for its Italian cuisine. There’s no bad place to get Italian food here. Everything from chicken parmigiana subs at Dino’s to fresh bread at Bricco to slices at Ernesto’s Pizza pleases crowds. Ristorante Lucia serves cuisine from Italy’s Abruzzo region and Panza serves pillowy lobster ravioli. On the busy weekends, tourists pack Hanover Street and stand in a long line outside of Mike’s Pastry, but locals typically get their cannoli at either Parziale’s or the 24-hour Bova’s Bakery. Six days a week at 10:45, Galleria Umberto opens its doors and hawks arancini and Sicilian-style pizza until sold out. Ricotta pie and sfogliatelle are served alongside coffee and chocolate martinis at Caffe Vittoria, which follows the North End tradition of being cash-only. It's not all Italian food, however. The Thinking Cup, a café that started across from the Boston Common at Emerson College, opened a location on Hanover Street in 2012. Sweet Boba sells boba tea and things like pork dumplings.Twice a week, every week, is Haymarket, where about 40 vendors line the area outside of the Haymarket T station and sell fruits, vegetables and seafood for dirt-cheap prices on Fridays and Saturdays, starting around 3 a.m. Haymarket is loud, and passers-by squeeze past tents full of crowds frantically gathering broccoli and raspberries. The market has been around since 1820, but right next to it is a taste of the new North End. The indoor Boston Public Market spans about 30,000-square-feet of the Haymarket T station and sells goods from local artisans like Union Square Donuts in Somerville and the Roxbury-based Bon Me food truck.

Huge annual Catholic festivals
The neighborhood celebrates Saint Anthony’s Feast, an annual event with parades, singers, entertainment, religious services and hundreds of vendors selling Italian street food. It’s the largest Italian Religious Festival in New England.

Not as many generational families as there used to be
North End neighbors include a mix of renters, condo owners and landlords who occupy units in their own buildings. Colonial revival-style brick multifamily residences are typical, and they sit shoulder-to-shoulder with one another on small, winding streets built before cars. Wrought-iron fire escapes snake the exterior of brick buildings, and early 1900s structures frequently get renovated and flipped as new condos. Traditionally, North End families lived in the same apartment for generations, but price hikes drove many of those longtime residents away. Home prices range from $625,000 for a studio-sized condominium to nearly $4 million for a penthouse.

Peaceful walkway under a paved trellis
Parks in the North End are so sprawling and green that people can forget they're part of a densely packed urban neighborhood. The Rose Kennedy Greenway starts in the North End, offering open green space, bubbling fountains and big, comfortable swings for relaxing. Neighbors can play basketball on the waterfront at Langone Park. Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park has a beautiful trellis with illuminating lights. In the summertime, people grab a drink at Tia’s right next to the park and enjoy views of Boston Harbor. The Paul Revere Mall is a brick walkway with a statue of the Revolutionary. The Old North Church provides a backdrop for the statue. In 1775, the historic parish lit lanterns to signal Revere’s famous ride.

Taking public transit and permit parking
The North End is extremely walkable. Downtown workers may find walking to work is best. Within nearby TD Garden is North Station, a transportation hub connecting Boston to points north via Amtrak and the commuter rail. The Green Line on the T is accessible from either Haymarket or North Station, and it runs inbound to Government Center, Copley Square and west to Allston, Brighton, Newton and Brookline.Parking in the North End is mostly by resident permit. Neighbors can get parking permits from city hall by providing proof of residency. U.S. Route 1, Interstate 93 and the Massachusetts Turnpike are all nearby, and the North End is also about 10 minutes from Boston Logan International Airport. The ferry to Hingham and Hull is near the Boston Marriott Long Wharf hotel, and neighbors can also ferry over to the new Encore Boston Harbor casino.
