Best Dessert Place

Mike's Pastry

It may seem like a tourist trap with lines that rival those outside the unemployment office as of late, but there’s a good reason why MIKE’S PASTRY is your pick for best dessert in the city — two words: holy cannoli. The sweet, creamy ricotta filling topped with tiny chocolate chips is enough to make you forget your troubles, financial or otherwise. Ricotta pies, lobster claws, and dainty Italian cookies fill the charmingly retro glass cases in this North End landmark, and its eponymous boxes are about as recognizable as a capital B in this city.
