Nadine • August 31, 2013So beautiful. It's a great place to stop and watch people and the city. It runs near the north end and Chinatown. Grab some Italian pastry then walk off the calories as you go to Chinatown!

Emma C. • June 1, 2012Try the Clam Chowder in Bread Bowl - Chewy bread, delicious, heavenly-smelling chowder
