North End

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

The North End runs 98 restaurants, 28 coffee shops, 8 grocery options, 6 fitness spots and 3 courts inside 0.36 square miles, or 0.93 square kilometers. Twenty-seven parks are mapped in that same footprint, which means green space is rarely more than a block or two off your route. The Vibe Score lands at 59, and the density of food is what drives it. This is the city's oldest residential community, inhabited since it was colonized in the 1630s, and the street mix still reads that way. What people look for here skews Italian restaurants, pizzerias, bakeries, pastry shops, cafes, gourmet stores and cheese stores. Historic and protected sites also rank among the most searched categories, so the tourist draw and the daily grocery run share the same narrow blocks.
