A public plaza along the Boston Harborwalk on neighboring Long Wharf. The plaza has benches with views of the harbor, and East Boston and Logan Airport.

While on my adventure through the North End, I was able to get a quick interview with an East Boston Native who provided a lot of insight on North End culture.

The purpose of this picture is to clearly demonstrate the red brick motif that decorates the neighborhood and holds its history.
