The 8 Best Sights & Landmarks in South End, Massachusetts (MA)
Walk the Freedom Trail the first time you visit Boston and you'll quickly get a sense of this coastal city's revolutionary spirit and history. But make sure you also explore some of Boston's fine museums (try the Isabella Stewart Gardner, featuring masterpieces displayed in their collector's mansion) and old neighborhoods (like the North End, Boston's Little Italy). You can't claim to have experienced real Boston culture, though, until you've watched a Red Sox game from the bleachers.

This is one of the older neighborhoods in town and much of the old architecture has been preserved. So find a walking tour and wander around. It's not too big and is safe, in spite of a sketchy past. Full of Yuppies now.

If Boston was a person, SoWa would be its creative side. Its independent streak. Its curiosity. Because here imagination has created a corner of the city filled with the eclectic and the unexpected. Where one-of-a-kind restaurants, galleries, and small business are run by one-of-a-kind people. Where food is sold by farmers, beer sold from barns, and art is sold where art is made. People don’t just visit SoWa. They live it. They taste it. They experience it. Explore your creative side. Explore SoWa. Originally derived from a shortening of "South of Washington," SoWa spans the area from East Brookline Street to East Berkeley Street and from Shawmut Ave to Albany Street.

We fell in love with the area - the repurposed brick buildings that now house countless artist's studios, galleries and design shops make for hours of browsing. Unfortunately we were not there during one of the evening events when many of the artist galleries are open to browse and perhaps buy

8. SoWa Power Station
The SoWa Power Station in an iconic masterpiece of late-industrial glamour. Built in 1896 as the world’s largest electric power generation plant, it produced enough electricity to run the West End Street Railway. The century-old property’s structural elements have recently been rescued and restored, transforming it into a blank canvass for community, celebration, and innovation. The Power Station has hosted events such as Create Boston, Illuminus, Copenhagen Beer Festival, Fitbit Local, HubWeek, the SoWa Winter Festival, and Cochon555. Sundays during the SoWa Open Market season, the Power Station doubles as Boston's coolest taproom - the SoWa Beer Barn. The "Barn" features a variety of local brews and ciders handpicked by Craft Collective, live music, lawn games, and good eats from your favorite food trucks.
