I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
One of the coolest places to shop also happens to be one of the most iconic and historic in the state. Faneuil Hall Marketplace in Massachusetts is a one-of-a-kind destination for shopping and dining. Anyone who visits Boston makes a stop at Faneuil Hall and there are plenty of reasons why.
In 1742, Faneuil Hall was built and became a center of commerce and meeting in the city of Boston. Back then, meat, fish, and produce sellers called this hall home.
Today, Faneuil Hall Marketplace is made of four buildings: Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, North Market, and South Market. There is also a large outdoor space lined with cobblestone where you will find street performers and outdoor restaurant seating.
If you're hungry, you'll have your choice of 13 restaurants and 35 food stalls. Head into Quincy Market for the food colonnade that features 30 additional food vendors. It's the largest food hall in the region.
