Family-owned Modern Pastry has been crafting old-world Italian and American holiday specialties since the 1930s. In the days leading up to Thanksgiving, Bostonians line the brick sidewalks to pick up holiday dessert centerpieces alongside famous handmade cannoli filled fresh to order. The bakery's holiday menu highlights traditional scratch pumpkin pies, Southern pecan pies, Italian sweet ricotta pies, pumpkin cheesecakes, and boxes of festive almond macaroons and torrone. Strolling through the North End with warm pastry boxes tied in classic baker's twine is a quintessential Boston family holiday ritual. ## Similar picks in Boston - [The Holiday Market at Snowport](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/the-holiday-market-at-snowport--listing-789b3ac7734d7b254bdd5371) — Nov 6 – Dec 27 · 11:00 AM – 8:00 PM · Seaport Common (Snowport) · All ages · Free · checked Nov 4.
