Fisherman’s Feast in the North End this Weekend

Filed under: Boston Waterfront Amenities, Boston Waterfront Events, Boston Waterfront Luxury Buildings, North End Amenities, North End Boston, North End Events, North End Real Estate Market, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

Crowd enjoying the Fisherman's Feast in Boston's North End. Oldest Italian Festival in Boston.

Boston’s oldest annual Italian festival is back.  This weekend, the Fisherman’s Feast will once again commemorate the age-old tradition of honoring Madonna del Soccorso.

Much like it has been for the last 100 years, the North End streets will be decorated in lights, lined with vendors, and filled with children playing games and people enjoying wonderful Italian food.

Held in the North End’s historic neighborhood on North and fleet streets, the Feast typically starts on a Thursday when the statue of the Madonna is paraded from her home in the Fisherman’s Club to a chapel at the center of the festival.

Also performed on Thursday is a memorial service on the Waterfront to bless the fishing waters and honor the fishermen who founded the tradition.

It is a wonderful event to behold.  This weekend there will be plenty of entertainment, food (Italian sausages, calamari, pizza, pasta and more!) along with arts and crafts.

The Feast finishes on Sunday night with the grand finale performance of the “Flight of the Angel.”  It certainly is a magical time in the North End that you will not want to miss.

On July 27, the Saint Joseph Society, a charitable organization based in Boston’s North End, put on the Historic Unity Celebration.  This event was intended to pay homage to the cultures and traditions of the many ethnic groups that have immigrated through Boston’s North End and are now such a strong part of the Boston community.

Although Boston’s largest present-day Chinese population resides in Chinatown, many Chinese entered Boston via the North End. The program featured multiple Chinese dance and musical performances, including a guest dance appearance by one of Shanghai’s most acclaimed dancers!  See more here: http://www.northendwaterfront.com/home/2011/8/3/chinese-music-and-dance-at-the-historic-unity-celebration-in.html

The Enjoyment and Convenience of Waterfront Living

Filed under: Advice for Home Buyers, Boston Waterfront Amenities, Boston Waterfront Condos, Boston Waterfront Real Estate Market, North End Amenities, North End Luxury Condos, North End Real Estate Market, North End Waterfront Condos, Waterfront Boston. • Tags: , . By

North End BostonPerhaps you’re an empty-nester or just looking to make life a little easier by downsizing.  If so, then this is a great time to seize the moment and make the move to the North End/Waterfront, since interest rates are still at an all time low and the prices for condos are still lower. When choosing a location within the city, you will undoubtedly consider what makes a neighborhood most attractive.

Residing within walking distance of some of the city’s finest restaurants, theaters, sailing centers, universities and hospitals makes the Waterfront so very attractive.  Try taking cooking classes at a North End restaurant or a sailing class at the Boston Sailing Center.  The North Bennet Street School located in North End has been teaching craftsmanship for 125 years.  The school offers classes in Woodworking, Jewelry, Calligraphy, and Bookbinding just to mention a few.

Perhaps take a stroll over to Charlestown to visit the U.S.S. Constitution or Bunker Hill Monument.  Perhaps take a harbor walk along the Waterfront on a glorious day by stepping out your front door.

Glide to a Celtics or Bruins game and amble home in a matter of minutes.  There’s more enjoyment and gratification in entertaining your family and friends when all these sites can be visited without the use of an automobile. Boston’s Waterfront offers all this and much, much more.

Excellent Reviews for CL Waterfront Properties

Carmela Laurella clearly deserves her stellar reputation as the premier real estate agent on the Boston waterfront and the surrounding area. I bought a gorgeous waterfront condo with her help and, when I decided to move to Washington DC to join the Obama administration, she rented it for me quickly and profitably. When I decided to move to another area, Carmela then sold my condo for me at an excellent price in as difficult a market as we have seen in years. She is a delight to work with either from a seller’s perspective or from a buyer’s perspective.  I can say that with confidence because I’ve been on both ends of that game. Carmela is simply the best.

Review By: Bill Coady

Basically, anyone who uses any real estate firm other than Carmela Laurella’s  Waterfront Properties is not serving their own interests very well! I have had Carmella market and sell two high end Waterfront  properties and each time she delivered beyond my wildest expectations, delivering record setting per square foot prices each time, with an air of professionalism unsurpassed. Other’s  may talk  [ and they do talk ] Carmela just delivers.

Review By: Adrina

Having Carmela for your “Real Estate Professional” makes life easier and less stressful. She understandings your needs, is a “Master” of the Boston Waterfront as well as other areas in Boston, and can help you in any way. Her recommendations of restaurants, activities and events in the area, decorators, and any issues of “moving”, Carmela is always there for you. If I was considering buying a villa in Italy and needed advice, I would make one phone call…to Carmela!

Review  By: John K.

Finding a new home long distance is a nightmare unless one has the a realtor extra-ordinaire.  Carmela Laurella is one such rare gem.  My wife and I came into town from Singapore and within days Carmela had us so well organized we were able to purchase a new home without disrupting our travels. We felt so positive about Carmela we even had her hold the keys to our property until we were able to take possession many months later.  We recommend Carmela to any serious buyer – if all foreign buyers work with Carmela we may well solve the Boston real estate slump!

Review By: Noah W.

No one knows the Boston waterfront better than Carmela. She helped me find my first home which I love.  She helps me rent my place when I’m  away, and helped me with renovations. When you go to the North End for dinner, you eat Italian food and when you’re looking to buy, sell, or  rent on Boston’s Waterfront, you go to Carmela.
