Salem Street

Fodor's Review:

This ancient and constricted thoroughfare, one of the two main North End streets, cuts through the heart of the neighborhood and runs parallel to and one block west of Hanover. Between Cross and Prince streets, Salem Street contains several restaurants and shops. One of the best is Dairy Fresh Candies, which carries a huge assortment of nuts, syrups, dried fruits, and packaged candies, as well as by-the-pound truffles, turtles, and marzipan that put Godiva to shame. The rest of Salem Street is mostly residential, but makes a nice walk to the Copp's Hill Burying Ground.
