Food Scene
There are several eating and drinking establishments in the neighborhood, all of which are 5-10 minutes away on foot. The North End, Boston’s Italian quarter, and it’s restaurants, cafes, and coffee shops are reachable via a very inexpensive Uber/Lyft/taxi ride, or by a pleasant stroll that passes over Boston’s picturesque inner harbor.
The best breakfast in C-town! Don't miss the corned beef hash.

James Hook & Co
440 Atlantic AveMy favorite lobster roll in Boston!
On Hanover Street in the North End. Great food at very reasonable prices. And dessert is just across the street at Mike’s Pastry. Be aware, though: it’s tiny, so you’ll probably have to wait in line to get in, and it’s cash-only.

Down the street from The Boston Gahhhden. Yes, it’s another pizzeria, but it’s my go-to place when I want a Roman style pie with the perfect chewy crust. And again, just a 10-minute walk!

A short walk into the Navy Yard, past Old Ironsides and the cruiser USS Cassin Young. Menu is unique and diverse, including my favorite braised short ribs. Some sidewalk seating available when the weather cooperates.
