North End
The North End is Boston’s oldest residential community, where people have lived since it was settled in the 1630s. The neighborhood is known as Boston’s Little Italy for its large Italian-American population and the numerous Italian restaurants and bakeries that line the narrow streets. There are many historical points of interest in the North End including Old North Church, The Paul Revere House, and The Freedom Trail which cuts right through the North End Parks on the Greenway.
