Historic Italian neighborhood. Great restaurants (many of the best tucked away off of Hanover St.!) and be sure to put your vote in on the best cannoli - Mike's and Modern's on Hanover are the most popular, but Bova's is my personal favorite!

Largely a student neighborhood; very close to BU. Despite that, tons of great casual dining options. Heavy Asian influence - check out Yelp around the corners of Harvard Ave. & Brighton Ave. and Harvard Ave. & Commonwealth Ave.!
Tip - Harvard Ave. turns into Harvard St. as it runs south and heads from Boston into Brookline.
