North End in Boston


I think North End in Boston has lost its charm and gone from a quaint Boston neighborhood with amazing restaurants to an overly commercialized patch of tourist haunts. I used to enjoy it particularly coming off of flights from SFO into Logan and easily accessing the restaurants there, instead of dealing with the 128 traffic and getting late to a hotel only to find everything closed down (restaurants close early in Boston) while the body clock was just getting into West Coast dinner time. And most times I could find a nice Italian or seafood restaurant with character and a distinctive menu minutes off the airport. Alas no more, I was in Boston this week, and ended up instead eating at the hotel restaurant in Logan.
