I loved eating in restaurants that are longstanding in the North End. Paula has personal connections to many, as she worked in several. She lives in the North End and when she walks with you, you feel like you are among her neighbors. She is interested in history, food, wine, urban growth, and sociology. Her stories weave these topics together to understand this community better. And the food, eat light as you will eat well. You will leave stuffed and wiser about this charming bit of Italy in Boston.
