Things to Do

The Wedding Website of Shannon McMahon and Hisham Hamdy
Some of our favorite spots in Boston, if you’re staying a while

North End

Boston, MA

Walk & dine through the North End where Hish lived for a few years. The area tends to be very lively in the summer time: get Cannolis from Mike’s or Modern, pizza from Regina’s or Galleria Umberto (if they’re not sold out), and a strong espresso at Cafe Vittoria. Check the link for some additional Recs:

South End

Boston, MA

Explore the South End, where Shannon lived for three years, for brownstones, jazz clubs (Beehive), bookstores (More Than Words), cafes (Berkeley Perk), and wine bars (Metropolis). If you’re free Sunday morning hit the SOWA Artist Market at the Power Station. Check the link for some additional Recs:
