Mike's

Boston is one of my favorite cities in the world. I spent two of my four years of college there, met my husband there, and learned all about living in the city (no easy feat for a girl from the Pennsylvania countryside). I would happily move back to Boston on a second's notice and spend the rest of my life there. Something about it's small scale and almost European charm make it totally different from every other city in the US. One of the coolest parts of Boston is the North End, the old Italian neighborhood right by the water. There are amazing little Italian restaurants, coffee/espresso shops, specialty food stores, and best of all, Mike's.
Mike's is a pastry shop on Hanover Street right in the heart of the North End that has become famous for their incredible pastry's. Every time we go back to Boston we try and make it into Mike's for some treats, my favorites are the Amaretto cookies, the cannolies, and the marzipan. I learned recently that you can order from Mike's online! What a wonderful thing the internet is :)
