10. The People

Want true Boston culture? Some might say to start in Southie. Even though you’ll find an increasing number of art galleries and hip cafes, this is still the spot for one of the best St. Patrick’s Day parades in the country, and of course, a good old neighborhood pub. Take a trip to L Street Tavern–though it was made famous by the film Good Will Hunting, the authentic Irish pub is the spot for cheap drinks and a laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere. Explore other parts of the city on your own two feet with Boston by Foot‘s walking tours, including the North End’s Little Italy and other authentically Boston neighborhoods.
