Strolling shoppers came out in force despite a rainy night for the 7th Annual Buon Natale North End Holiday Shopping Stroll on Friday night, December 6th. The North End retail shops stayed open late, welcoming residents and visitors with refreshments and discounts at over 20 boutiques, galleries and design studios in the neighborhood. The shops were decorated for the holidays and “passports” guided shoppers around from store to store with the chance to win custom gift baskets.
Participating shops included neighborhood favorites – A Matter of Face, Acquire, Cocoanuts, Ensemble, Exhale Spa, Fairmont Battery Wharf, Heart & Sole, In-jean-ius, LIT Boutique, Luke Aaron, Lulu’s Sweet Shoppe, North Bennett St. School, Officina 189, Savas Studios, Sedurre, Shake the Tree, Sol Optics, Twilight & The Wine Bottega.

Very, very nice! All really cool shops. I’m curious, how do shops get involved? I’m noticing that there are other cool shops in the North End that aren’t participating, such as Modern Pastry, Bricco’s Bread, Hanover Wine and Spirits, and Lit.
Oops!, I see that Lit did participate.
