Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, MA, USA



The historic Faneuil Hall has been a marketplace and a meeting hall since 1742. The modern Faneuil Hall Marketplace was established in late 1970s and consists of the famous Quincy Market, South Market, North Market and Faneuil Hall. It is now an indoor/outdoor shopping mall and food courts. The marketplace is located in the city center, not too far away from the waterfront and Christopher Columbus Waterfront Park. It is fun and enjoyable when you get involved in the indoor and outdoor activities. Most of the time, the marketplace is full of visitors, and sometimes, you can barely find a seat for lunch or dinner. Sitting in an outdoor coffee vendor and watching people around is another way to fit in the atmosphere.

Today, Faneuil Hall Marketplace is a popular meeting place which offers visitors and residents a unique place to shop. The variety of stores, restaurants and outdoor entertainment make it a pleasant Boston destination. You can spend several hours here enjoying the Marketplace. First, you can buy anything you want from the 49 shops and 44 pushcarts. After that you may have a cup of coffee or a meal from 13 full service restaurants and 35 food stalls. The outdoor entertainment is what you can enjoy the world class jugglers, clowns, mimes, acrobats, magicians, and musicians.

The Quincy Market was completed in 1826 as an indoor pavilion of vendor stalls. It is now used mainly for food stalls, fast food and restaurants. The space under the dome in the center of the building serves as the seating area for the food court. The other two parallel buildings are South Market and North Market which offer more space for restaurants, specialty shops and offices. More stores are in the two modern concave buildings which embrace a circular plaza at the market's east end.
