Main Streets-East Boston
About
East Boston Main Streets is a nonprofit that promotes and supports the business district of East Boston, known locally as Eastie. Its signature event is Taste of Eastie, the neighborhood’s largest charity dining event, where guests sample food from local restaurants that reflect Eastie’s diverse cuisine. The event has run for nearly three decades, with recent editions held at the Tall Ship on the waterfront, and it sells out each year, so organizers advise arriving early.
The organization also brings people together around neighborhood life. Each spring, staff and volunteers take part in the City of Boston’s Love Your Block cleanup, picking up trash and mulching tree pits around Maverick Square. Its event listings have also included a weekend of watch gatherings for international soccer’s group stage and knockout games at the Tall Ship, the same waterfront venue that has hosted Taste of Eastie.
