The North End: Immigrant Boston & Food

Colonial landmarks and generations of immigrant life packed into a few blocks

The kitchens of Boston were built by people who arrived with nothing but recipes. Six stops over 0.8 miles, about an hour of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the 50 MassRoam tours in Boston, this is the food-and-drink one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
