Faneuil Hall Marketplace

There are more than 100 places to eat, shop and drink at Faneuil Hall Marketplace, which includes the North Market, Quincy Market and the South Market. In 1742, the French merchant Peter Faneuil presented this hall as a gift to the city. It has been called "the Cradle of Liberty" because of the number of revolutionaries and abolitionists who delivered important speeches here. The hall is now a tourist center and a popular shopping spot, but public meeting facilities are still available. If you are fascinated by historic places and feel nostalgic while visiting one, you should visit the Faneuil Hall Marketplace!
