North End Boston Food Tour: Pizza, Pasta, and Pastries
3 of these places are in North End
Boston's street food draws on the immigrant kitchens and market stalls scattered across several neighborhoods. The Haymarket vendors near the North End and Gene's Chinese Flatbread Cafe in Chinatown sit at the traditional end, while Banh Mi Ba Le in Dorchester and Anna's Taqueria in Brookline bring the cuisine's grab-and-go spirit to the outer neighborhoods. James Hook & Co in the Seaport and Fort Point area adds the dockside seafood angle to the mix.
