Wow! What a list. I wasn’t aware of many of these Substacks but try to keep linked in with my fellow Italian immigrants so I appreciate this! 😊

Is it the ads? I have an ad blocker so it probably is a little easier for me.

How did I literally live in the North End and never go to that bookstore?! I am a failure of an Italian person.

Update: it's even worse than I thought. I lived on the next street over. *hangs head in Italian shame*

They only moved to Salem Street about six months ago, maybe? Prior to this location they were over near the Paul Revere house in a really tiny space.

Ok this makes me feel better. I was having a mild existentialist panic over how I lived next to a bookstore and NEVER WENT.

Any recommendations for places to eat in the Vatican/Borgo Pio/Prati area for my next article- dinner, snacks, ? Things have changed since I lived there....

L'arcangelo is wonderful. https://www.larcangelo.com/en/ and of course, Panificio Bonci for pizza al taglio.
