North End Food Tour: Taste Boston's Italian Heritage

About this activity

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.
