History
East Boston is a peninsula of made land — five small islands joined by 19th-century landfill and now hosting Logan Airport at one end and one of the densest, most internationally diverse neighborhoods in New England at the other. The waterfront has the city's most direct, postcard-perfect view of the Boston skyline, framed across Boston Harbor's inner basin. Italian, Salvadoran, Colombian, and Brazilian communities have stamped Eastie's main streets with the food culture that today draws visitors over the harbor on the Blue Line.
