State Street Crossroads is an exceptional Boston street. It is a major pedestrian route between commercial, governmental, retail and civic destinations – the Old State House, City Hall, Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Christopher Columbus Park and the Wharf District Parks, the Aquarium and new Harbor Islands gateway.

The walk from Court Street to Long Wharf takes visitors to a new plaza at the Old State House and Boston Massacre Site, to performing spaces along India Street and at Custom House Tower, through the heart of the Wharf District Parks, and to an enlivened Long Wharf. There one finds a relaxing harborside cafe with unbeatable views of the harbor and surrounding neighborhoods which ring it.
