  • Review this attraction
  • Originally built in the 17th-century to connect the shipping wharves to Dock Square (now Faneuil Hall Marketplace (see Faneuil Hall Marketplace)), Hanover Street was widened in 1870 to accommodate the busy flow of commerce. Today, as the North End’s principal artery with cafés and eateries aplenty, it is the place to come for a slice of the action.
