ABOUT BOSTON'S NORTH ENDHere, 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 locals carefully maintain their deeply-rooted ties to Italian culture.
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.
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.
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. |
