Know before you go

The market hall itself is free to enter and still hosts public meetings and events on the upper floor.

Quincy Market behind it is the spot for a quick lunch: a long hall of food stalls covering just about every cuisine.

Street performers work the cobblestone plaza outside most afternoons: genuinely good, not just tourist-trap acts.

It's an easy stop on the Freedom Trail, a few minutes' walk from City Hall and the North End.
