Hanover Street, where we here at Strega are located, is a bustling and culturally-rich street with great importance to the North End neighborhood and the city of Boston as a whole. Located in the heart of the North End, throughout the year, Hanover Street is a tourist hotspot that has countless people walking up and down it, in search of everything from outstanding restaurants, cafes, and shops, to historical sites and museums to experience. In today’s blog, we’ll be paying homage to our own street, and taking a look at Hanover Streets’ iconic locations that help make a special place to be. If that sounds interesting, keep reading below for more information!
Paul Revere House
While we admit that this isn’t quite on Hanover Street, the Paul Revere house is located mere steps away from it and is a definite must-see for those who are visiting the North End – especially if it is their first time. The home of the eponymous Revolutionary War hero, the Paul Revere house is unique, historical, and since becoming a museum, educational as well. This colonial-era home stands out in the neighborhood as a landmark of the North End’s rich history and cultural value. While Paul Revere himself may need no introduction, his home – and the small museum inside of it – are sure to please any history enthusiast or casual tourist alike.
Modern & Mike’s Pastry
After a cultural or historical excursion such as visiting the Paul Revere house, you might be looking for a bite to eat. If you are, consider checking out either of Hanover Street’s most famous pastry shops – Modern or Mike’s Pastry. Located just steps from each other, both establishments are famous in the North End for their selections of cannolis, pastries, cakes, and many other baked goods. They are great to enjoy either as soon as you get them, or later when you are craving something sweet. Fitting for a neighborhood that is renowned for its strong roots in Italian-American culture, these two beloved pastry shops have served countless customers for years.
