Places to stay in Dorchester, Massachusetts

Dorchester is a dissolved municipality and current neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It is named after the town of Dorchester in Dorset, from which Puritans emigrated and is today endearingly nicknamed "Dot" by its residents. Dorchester, including a large portion of today's Boston, was separately incorporated in 1630. It is now a large working class community with many African Americans, European Americans, Caribbean Americans, Latinos, and East and Southeast Asian Americans. Recently, there has been an influx of young professionals, gay men, and working artists to the neighborhood, adding to its diversity. Local restaurants include Shanti, Singh's Roti Shop, 224 Boston Street Restaurant, and 224 Boston Street Restaurant.
