Boston's food scene runs deeper than clam chowder and Cheers references — it's a city of tight-knit ethnic neighborhoods, each with its own specialty, and a raw bar culture that takes its seafood seriously. Here's where to eat, and a couple of ways to see the city that go beyond a walking tour.
Where to Eat in the North End
Boston's North End is the country's oldest Italian-American neighborhood, and it's still where locals go for red-sauce classics — cannoli from one of the old-guard bakeries along Hanover Street is practically a rite of passage after dinner. Expect a wait at the most popular spots on weekend nights; this is a neighborhood built for wandering until something smells right.
Quincy Market's Food Hall
Right next to Faneuil Hall, the Quincy Market food hall is a good one-stop option for groups with different tastes — chowder, lobster rolls, and Boston cream pie all under one historic roof. It's touristy, but the lobster roll stands here are a legitimate way to try New England's signature dish without booking a formal seafood restaurant.
Beyond Walking: See Boston From the Water
A duck boat tour is Boston's quirkiest sightseeing option — amphibious World War II-style vehicles that drive the historic downtown route and then splash straight into the Charles River for a different view of the skyline. For a more traditional afternoon, a harbor cruise past the USS Constitution and out toward the Boston Harbor Islands is a good way to rest your feet after a day on the Freedom Trail. Browse Boston tours and experiences below to plan your trip.
Carry It All in Style
A city day that moves between food stalls, harbor tours, and the Freedom Trail calls for a bag you don't have to think about. The VacationGrabs Leather Sling Bag keeps your hands free for cannoli.
