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.

The South End Formaggio is a local institution carrying the finest selection of cheeses, wine, beer, cooking oils and a vast array of gourmet groceries. Much like a European market, the focus here is on quality. The owners and staff know their stuff and are happy to guide you through their worldly market of culinary curiosities. In addition to the packaged goods, they have a daily menu of incredible prepared foods that could turn a standard lunch break into a picnic in the park. Best spot for food on the go.
