East Boston

latinx immigrant · 02128

Eastie sells one thing better than anywhere in Boston: the skyline from the wrong side of the harbor. Piers Park at sunset is the cheat code, and the Eastie ferry from Lewis Mall makes it a date in itself. Maverick Square anchors the eating: Rincon Limeno for Peruvian, Taqueria Jalisco for tacos that do not negotiate, Mi Pueblito for late pupusas. Italian-American holdouts on Bennington keep Spinelli's and Santarpio's in business. Honest tradeoff: the Blue Line is a one-seat ride from downtown but flights overhead are loud, and gentrification on Maverick is uneven block to block. Pick the water, not the avenue.
