The Golden Goose Market on the Waterfront of Boston's North End is a small high end grocery. Although it has pretty much everything that the average city dweller might need, it is offered in smaller quantities and at a higher price. They also have a wine shop in the back of the store as well as a section for prepared foods and a full Boar's Head deli. So much more than just a convenience store, this place offers high-end selections and old fashioned personal service. They are fully stocked with many prepared dishes, such as fresh cooked chicken and pizza. They also provide a salad bar, liquor, deli, and a large cheese and meat section. Sandwiches only cost about six bucks, but the ultimate meal deal at the Golden Goose is their half-pound Angus Beef Burger for just $4.99. Don't go there for the veggies here, which are okay but there's better to be found elsewhere. Be sure to stop in for the early Friday night wine tastings. You get to try about 4-5 wines, snack on some cheese and crackers, and get a good education about the wines being served. $5 minimum on credit/debit card purchases.

Gallery in the historic North End, showcasing the talent of many artists in the following works: oil paintings, prints, photographs, ceramics, jewelry and gifts.

Proceeds from this quirky gift shop help to support the Church. Built in 1723, The Old North Church is Boston's oldest standing church, the most visited historic site in Boston, and a National Historic Landmark. The gift shop is located adjacent to the Church in a building formerly known as the St. Francis Chapel. The chapel was built in 1918, by the Old North Church , for a group of Italian speaking protestants. In the late 50s the Chapel closed and has operated as a gift shop ever since. The Old North Gift Shop is run by the Old North Foundation, a secular, not-for-profit organization devoted to the preservation of Old North and to fostering educational and interpretive programs for students and visitors. Your purchase supports this mission.
