The North End Little Italy Food Tour will introduce you to the rich Italian history of the North End while making stops at some of the most historic landmarks in Boston. Not only is the Paul Revere Mall a great place to take a break or rest your feet after your Boston walking tour, it is also one of the most familiar historic landmarks in Boston.
Situated between the Old North Church and St. Stephens Church between Hanover and Unity Streets is a cobblestone lined park surrounded by rows of beautiful shade trees. The park is enclosed with brick walls adorned with bronze plaques that tell the stories of famous historic people from the North End neighborhood.
Inside the park stands one of the most photographed sculptures in Boston. This is the statue of Paul Revere shown during his famous midnight ride. A picturesque fountain and park benches complete the scene and make The Paul Revere Mall a favorite spot of visitors and locals alike.
The park was established in 1933 on land that was once a pasture belonging to Christopher Stanley who died in 1646. Today the land is a popular local hangout, tourist attraction and a place to pick up a hot dog or lemonade on a hot summer day. The beautiful walkway framed by the historic Old North Church is the perfect place to rest, relax and reflect on what you have learned about the rich history of Boston after your Yummy Walks walking tour is complete.
