Mikes Pastry by Deborah
            When visiting Boston, one of the most popular pastry shops in the North End is Mikes Pastry.  Located on 300 Hanover Street, you can usually tell you are there when you see the line going out the door.  If you are lucky enough to be there when there are no lines you can see that the pastry cases are filled with all kinds of Italian delights. 
            According to their web site, Mike has a 50 year history of baking with recipes from all over Italy.  Everything is made fresh on the premises.  Just a few favorites include cannolis in many flavors, cream puffs, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, éclairs, Boston creme pie and many others.  It is really hard to decide on just one treat.  We often pick up a lobster tail and a few other treats to take back with us.
            There are a few tables if you are lucky enough to get one.  Don’t be discouraged if you see the lines going way out the door.  Mike's staff is fast and the lines move quickly.  It’s worth the wait.
