For classic thin crust pizza, I always visit Regina Pizzeria (pepperoni and extra cheese, please), but when I want a Sicilian slice, I pop by Galleria Umberto. Be forewarned, Galleria Umberto is cash-only. If you're looking for a finer dining experience, Carmelina's on Hanover is fantastic. Why should visitors stop by the North End?

I'd love a recommendation from a local. In my youth the "Art of Ancient Greece, Rome and the Byzantine Empire" exhibit always captivated me.

Would it be good for a family visit too? While young kids may not find the expansive galleries of art as interesting as adults (depending on your child), there are several kid-friendly activities to keep their attention. On Sundays there are free drop-in art classes (open to all ages) and the museum has placed "Family Labels" on certain installations to inspire children to connect to the artwork. Also, the Art Connection connectivity cards allow for families to interact and engage with the artwork on self-guided tours. Do you have a favorite gallery or section of the museum?
