South Boston MA

South Boston, or “Southie,” is an evolving residential neighborhood with a strong Irish-American heritage. Old-school diners and taverns mingle with pizzerias and gastropubs. South Boston is also home to Dorchester Heights and other hills where George Washington’s army set up cannons to force the British out of Boston in 1776. The cannons were dragged from Fort Ticonderoga by Henry Knox. Dorchester Heights is now a National Park.
