Walk in Boston # 2, the other North End

Choose Walk in Boston # 2, the other North End, if you want to dream of the tall ships that docked here in centuries past while being far from the crowds of the touristic North End.

It's an unusual self-guided 2 miles tour in a quiet section of this still Italian neighborhood.

You will discover a part of it which is not on the Freedom Trail, and it will give you a chance to see the day-to-day life of the residents.

🍰There is an excerpt of it below to give you an idea of what ​​it is.

 ❤️ Otherwise, it is available in full for a few $ on Payhip/ImagesVoyagesImpressions in a PDF file that you'll be able to download on your phone.

😁NB: 

• You can read much more about the general content and philosophy of these walks on the home page and see some comments there too.

• The letters correspond to points indicated on the map, so you always know where you are along the trail or where you're heading.

​A: Your walk begins on ... Square because it is undoubtedly where you will exit the metro.
 
The large brick and cement building in front of you is ... Hall and you will have to go to its left to go down alongside a children's park which will certainly make you want to be a child again.
 
B: Below and practically across the street from you is the New England Holocaust Memorial, created in 1995 by Stanley Saitowitz, a striking work of art made of six glass towers under which you can walk amidst vapors rising from the ground.
 
Take it on the right then at the end, retrace your steps following ... to Hanover St where you will then take a right, or, if you don't want to take the detour, stay on Hanover St.

On this street and along ... which will be on its right, you can buy the cheapest fruits and vegetables in town every Friday and Saturday from dawn to dusk.
 
You will indeed be in the Haymarket open-air market which, it is said, dates from the 17th century but more officially from around 1830. Its name comes from the hay that the farmers sold there at the time and the fruits and vegetables come from surplus, hence their low prices and the need to consume them quickly.
 
If you're thinking of a picnic (there will be several places to sit facing the sea further down the road), the small food stalls on Blackstone St will add variety to what you will find on the market.
 
On other days, just at the start of ... on the left, you can go to the Boston Market Hall where local producers and various sellers are located and that should also do the trick.
 
Otherwise, wait further to find an Italian grocery store with tempting products.
