A: Your walk begins at ... like the Walk in Boston # 2, the other North End, but this time, once you exit the subway, you will take the stairs to the right of ..., the large building with bricks and concrete in Brutalist Style which faces you.
 
From the top of the stairs, you will see another building below, this time in stone with probably jugglers in front of it. It’s ... Hall. On its right, there is a ArtsBoston/BosTix kiosk where you can buy half-price show tickets for the same day or pick up those you have ordered online.
 
... Hall has been a market venue since 1743 and is now a National Historic Site. In the basement, there will be information on the Boston and Charlestown National Parks; on the ground floor, stamps for your postcards and a small post office as well as the typical souvenirs shops you see in touristic places.
 
B: Before loading up, however, wait until you return because there’s another part of ... Hall that you will explore later on your way back.
 
For now, move on to the other historic building on this site, ... Market, the one that will face you once you have crossed the length of ... Hall.
 
It was built in the 1800s when space began to run out at ... Hall for food sellers who wanted to set up there. Today, the tradition of sales continues since you will find a multitude of small restaurants with takeaway meals to bring to the tables in the center, set under the rotunda.

On each side, under glass extensions, you will see other souvenir shops and once you exit on the right or left, South Market and North Market, commercial annexes dating from the same period and housing other restaurants, other shops and some offices.
