Set in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace, this attractive long building with its Roman style columns, was built as an add-on to Faneuil Hall in 1826. Its purpose then, is its purpose now – vendors selling all kinds of products from individual stalls. On wet days, you can hardly move inside the market, but when it’s dry, it’s a lovely experience to browse the stalls and also to head upstairs and see the enormous dome forming the roof of the food court. You’ll also find restaurants upstairs at Quincy Market. This is an extract from our free Boston City Guide.
