Mike's Pastry has sold Italian pastries on Hanover Street in the North End since Michael Mercogliano opened it in 1946. Cannoli are the main draw, along with lobster tails, cookies and cakes, and orders go home in the shop's white box tied with blue string. It is still run by the family. The North End shop is open from 8am to 10pm, and the bakery also has counters in Harvard Square, at Assembly Row and in TD Garden.
