Boston's South End was originally tidal marshes up until the late 1840's when the city decided to transform it into a residential area with a focus on community. It's charm comes from Charles Bulfinch's design for the area which was inspired by 18th-century English cities where rows of townhouses overlooked tree-lined streets, brick sidewalks and beautiful parks. The neighborhood has had it's ups and downs since then, but today it is one of the most desireable places to live in the city, and continues to expand and evolve. It is home to some of the city's best restaurants, gourmet food trucks, boutiques, vintage shopping, theaters, galleries and picturesque rowhouses, all packed into just a few walkable city blocks. We'd like to thank you to Tony Luong for shooting the majority of our photos.

Casual, kitschy bar serving up eclectic eats & drinks.
It's hard not to love Coppa, a hip Italian bistro and enoteca offering fresh hand-made pastas, charcuterie, and pizzas served tapas-style in a casual atmosphere. Oh, and let's not forget the wine! Chefs Jamie Bissonnette and Ken Oringer have been serving up some of the best food in Boston at this little corner joint for years now, and it's still packed regularly. Get there early enough (opens at 5pm) to avoid the rush, and if you're lucky you can snag one of the highly sought after patio spots!
