Travel from one continent to another as we move from Chinatown to the North End - Boston's version of Little Italy. But this is more than just a great spot for an authentic cannoli or a bowl of penne ala vodka. The North End is also Boston's oldest residential neighborhood and a top spot for history buffs as the Freedom Trail passes through the area making stops at Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church and Copp's Hill, one of the oldest cemeteries in the United States. While retaining most of its old world charm and Italian heritage, the new age is also moving and mixing into the neighborhood as many clothing boutiques and new bistros are being built and attracting a crowd that appreciates a mix of the quaint and vibrant lifestyles.
