"Cool residential neighborhood with great restaurant"

Located in Boston's North End, Thacher Street has such a great old world style feel. The streets and sidewalks are narrow and the charm is wide.

Personally, the best part of Thacher street is Regina's Pizzeria. The corner location, the great pizza lends such a feeling of nostalgia that can't be duplicated in a newly built neighborhood.

"Great combination of business and residential"

Hanover Street is the heart of the North End in Boston. For those not familiar with the area, the North End is Boston's predominately Italian section.

Their is a distinct feeling of community on Hanover Street. Although it is easy to tell the local residents and business people apart from the visitors, there is not a feeling of separation between the two. Local residents can often be found in folding chairs out watching the happenings of the neighborhood and saying 'hello' to passerbys. For a real sense of neighborhood, check this street out during one of its' festivals- what a great time!

My favorite part of Hanover Street is the great cafes, restaurants and shops. Although it is, perhaps, too famous, Mike's Pastry really does offer a great selection and has the best ricotta filled canolli around. I will make trips back to Boston just for their canolli; they are just that good!

If you travel into Boston, make sure you get to Hanover Street. It can be congested if you are driving, but there are plenty of parking lots and garages in quick walking distance. It is absolutely worth the trip!
