East Boston Gems
East Boston is a truly authentic and eclectic neighborhood with some amazing food choices. All these eateries are less than a 10 minute walk from the apartment and unique in their own ways. Highly recommend them all!
Forget the North End! Some of the best Italian in Boston is right around the corner. Get there early for no wait, or put your name on the list, walk back to the apartment and wait, and walk back over when they call you.

Grab a "minuta" (shaved ice with fruit and various toppings) here, only about a 10 minute walk from the place. They're delicious and this is definitely a spot most tourists won't hear of or go to.
