What is the best way to get to the North End in Boston, MA? And where would you recommend going?|185540

I want to travel by the T. What is the best way to get to the North End and what places would you recommend as a date place?

You could take the green line to Government Center, or the Orange line to Haymarket, which is even closer. I love the North End. My absolute favorite restaurant there is Giacomo_s on Hanover St. If you get there right when they open (around 5) you can usually go right in. If you get there later there is usually a long line. But, it is totally worth it. It_s a tiny place (hence the line) but their food is AMAZING and VERY reasonably priced compared to other restaurants in the area. Also, there is a liquor store right on the corner and if you go in there and buy a bottle of wine they will cork it for you a give you some plastic cups (something to do while you wait in line). The people who work there are sooo nice too. My friend had already eaten dinner and asked if they had desserts, which they don_t. When the waiter brought out our food, he also brought out a box w/ pastries from Mike_s pastry shop. He had walked down the street to buy her a dessert since they don_t have a dessert menu!!!

If you don_t want to wait in the line, or if you want something a little more intimate/romantic/upscale, I recommend Mother Anna_s. It is right on the corner of Hanover St. as you enter the North End. The food is FANTASTIC but a bit on the pricey side.

Haymarket is the closest station to the North End. For restaurants, I recommend Al Dente on Salem Street. For bakeries, Bova_s also on Salem Street is amazing and open 24 hours... Mike_s is the more famous and hyped up bakery, but Bova_s is a bit off the beaten path and much better. For entertainment, you can catch a show at Improv Asylum on Hanover Street.

AWww I was taken on a date there last weekend!! I love Boston! It was great. We took the T to (The GREEN LINE) Goverment Center. It was a lot of fun. Tons of shopping, and it had all the goverment stuff. Like Quincy Market. It was more than 10 restaurants in there, and tons of shopping!! The food was great. We ate lunch at the Original _Cheer_s_ bar. The Seafood place Salty Dog_s was alright. I didn_t like my meal but the guy I was with did.

Also, if you walk across the street to where the Boston Tea Party happened. I_m pretty sure you can maybe take another T from there and get to the (THE BLUE LINE I THINK)Bay side. The Goverment Center is a really great area though. truly. It_s beautiful at night as well. Right by the water there was a fantastic restaurant. It was beautiful all lit up,and everything. A little expensive though.. appetizer_s were about $15 - $20. haha

ALSO.. HERE_S SOME WEBSITES OF TOURS AND OTHER THINGS TO DO. BOSTON IS MY FAVORITE CITY EVER! I_M MOVING THERE IN FEBURARY. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR DATE AND YOU_LL HAVE A GREAT TIME.
