About North End /
Waterfront
North End / Waterfront, located between Haymarket and the Seaport District, is a historic and waterfront Boston neighborhood with brick rowhouses and harborwalk promenades. Hanover Street concentrates the neighborhood’s character, where espresso bars, old-school bakeries, and tightly packed trattorias keep the sidewalks in motion. Mike’s Pastry, The Paul Revere House, and the New England Aquarium serve as cultural anchors with daily pull. Narrow lanes and pocket courtyards frame steeples and small plazas, while the Greenway edges the district with lawns and food kiosks. Along Atlantic Avenue, ferries, marinas, and the Harborwalk set a salt-air rhythm beside downtown towers.
