You meet inside Durty Nelly's with a beer in hand, then step into alleys where brick walls lean together like old neighbors sharing stories. Two slices from different, revered pizza shops and a guide who talks like a longtime local set the tone: casual, hungry, curious.

The North End is one of Boston’s oldest neighborhoods; its narrow street pattern dates to colonial plots and it served as an immigrant gateway, especially for Italian families in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Conservation
