Red sauce joints, cannoli wars, saints' feasts—got it. But take a look-see past the obvious and set your eyes on "the other North End."
Caffeinate your journey with a stop at Flamepoeira [3 Lewis St., Boston. 617.227.9880. flamepoeira.com], a tucked-away café/gallery. Shana K "felt immediately at home" here with a chai that was "simply lovely." Oh, and the art is easy on the eyes, too.
Getting your daily requirement of fruits and veggies will never be the same after a visit to The Haymarket Pushcart Association [61 Salem St., Boston. 617.742.5109]. Irene F warns us to "go early, be ferocious and then feast on the sweet spoils of Haymarket." We know what they say about the early bird.
Something special for you or a sweetie? Shake The Tree [67 Salem St., Boston. 617.742.0484. shakethetreeboston.com] will "suck you in and spit you out feeling fabulous," according to Amy C. With prettified shelves of funky gifts and handmade jewelry, Mina I. urges you to get on their mailing list for a little sip-and-spend action at their in-store events featuring local artists and cocktails—one tall glass of retail therapy comin' up!
If it's a cool pint you're after, Melissa P's got one word for ya: "GOOOOOODIES!" That's the local nickname for Goody Glover's [50 Salem St., Boston. 617.367.6444. goodyglovers.com], a bar that boasts froth and fare of the Irish persuasion. Snag a seat on the patio and enjoy the rousing revelry of their service-industry and trivia nights. Survey says? This one's a winner!
