Enjoy a summer night in Boston’s North End

This video gives you a good glimpse of Boston’s North End, where Paul Revere lived in the late 18th century, where legions of Italian immigrants set up their new lives in the late 19th century and where thousands of tourists head for dinner nightly in scores of Italian restaurants.

Most of the North End’s restaurants are along Hanover Street, along with a handful of historic churches and Mike’s Pastry, famed for its cannolis since 1946. I shot this in July 2015.

“A Minute Away” is a video series in which nothing much happens — except you see the world, and hear it, and get a respite from workaday life. We’ve covered Machu Picchu, Red Square, the Yucatan, the Alamo, an Alaskan float plane and the reading room of the New York Public Library, among other places. Since early 2013, we’ve been adding a new minute every week (and some of those “minutes” are closer to 120 seconds. So, if you’d prefer an hour or two away, we’ve got more than enough here for you.
