Polcari’s Coffee
Best coffee in Boston! In 1932 Anthony Polcari opened Polcari’s Coffee, which still stands nearly 100 years later. Today they are known for rare spices, tea and of course, primo rare coffee. My personal favorite is the Hawaiian Kona.
Bova's Bakery
Best Cannoli in Boston! Loved by the Locals. When the Italian Immigrant Antonio Bova opened Bova’s in 1926 he had no customers, and he was close to losing it all. So, he rolled up his sleeves and said “Antonio, it’s time to make your American dream come true.” He grabbed his hot bread and went to every door in the North End. He introduced himself, handed out samples and worked hard. Today Bova’s is a staple for Bostonian’s near and far.
Parziale's Bakery
One of the best Sicilian slices. Around $2 a slice. Now it’s hard to imagine, but in 1900 there was no Pizza in Boston. Parziale’s changed that. It was here in 1907 the first slice of Pizza was served in the North East. Now that’s revolutionary!
Admission Not Included
Regina Pizzeria
Regina serves up classic Napolitano Pizza, the thin crust circle pie style popular around the world. What Regina’s is well known for is there is their brick pizza oven that was originally built in 1888 and back then it was fired by burning coal. And it's rated one of the best in the USA. Got to try a slice!
Caffe Lil Italy
Serves up fresh made Cannoli's and traditional espresso. Great spot for a bite and a coffee.
Old North Church & Historic Site
(Pass by)
The Old North is known for Its famous Lantern hanging hero Robert Newman who climbed the high belfry and hung up two lanterns to let Paul Revere know the British were coming.
Paul Revere Mall
We will stop here for a picnic lunch. Take what you bought, unpack it and enjoy a lunch in one of the most beautiful parks in the North East, and a local hang. And while you do you will hear a story of Prince Pasta and how the founders came from Italy and arrived in Boston to start Prince Pasta. It's an immigrants tale and the American dream.
Cantina Italiana

A perfect spot for dinner, and it has one of the best lasagna al forno's you'll ever eat.
Saint Leonard's Church Parish Office
(Pass by)
The Saint Leonard Church first opened its basement to services in 1891, then serving nearly 20,000 parishioners. Today it’s known for its peace gardens and as a staple of local life.
The Paul Revere House
(Pass by)
One of the most visited sites in Boston. Built in 1680 it’s the oldest building in downtown Boston. It was once home to you guessed it, midnight riding Paul Revere.
