Overview
ItineraryThis is a typical itinerary for this productStop At: Polcari’s Coffee, 105 Salem St, Boston, MA 02113, USABest 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. Duration: 3 minutesStop At: Jerusalem Place, Jerusalem Pl, Boston, MA 02113, USAIn 1900 one third of the North End was of Jewish decent and more than 50 synagogues were in Boston. A dozen of those were right here in the North End. Today Boston is the second most Jewish city in the US. Duration: 3 minutesStop At: Bova's Bakery, 134 Salem St, Boston, MA 02113, USABest 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. Duration: 3 minutesStop At: Parziale's Bakery, 80 Prince St, Boston, MA 02113, USAOne 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! Duration: 3 minutesStop At: Regina Pizzeria, 11 1/2 Thacher St, Boston, MA 02113, USARegina 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! Duration: 3 minutesStop At: Caffe Lil Italy, 178 Salem St, Boston, MA 02113, USAServes up fresh made Cannoli's and traditional espresso. Great spot for a bite and a coffee.

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. Duration: 10 minutesPass By: Cantina Italiana, 346 Hanover St, Boston, MA 02113, USAA perfect spot for dinner, and it has one of the best lasagna al forno's you'll ever eat.
