On the Paul Revere Mall, learn about the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere (and the famous poem's many inaccuracies) while gazing at the Old North Church, where the lanterns were hung!

Walk through the second-oldest burial ground in Boston. Keep an eye out for medallions marking the graves of Tea Party Participants, and see where the British used gravestones for target practice.
20 minutes
Skinny House
See the skinniest house in Boston, and learn why it's called the "Spite House" (or at least, one leading theory!)
5 minutes
Polcari’s Coffee
Go back in time with an old-world spice and coffee shop. Grab a quick souvenir, and perhaps learn about the different types of cinnamon (who knew there was more than one?). Make sure to stock up on some delicious, fresh-ground coffee before you go!
15 minutes
Ernesto's Pizza
End with the famous Ernesto's Pizza, a North End staple. Hopefully you're still hungry - each slice is a quarter of a full pie!
