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.

Mike’s City Diner is one of the best diners in Boston, known for serving big plates of hearty diner food at reasonable prices. A true Boston tradition, Mike’s serves some of the best breakfast and lunch in town daily from 6am to 3pm.

Quickest bet is to grab a seat at the counter if you don't feel like waiting in the queue.
