Boston Picnic Guide: Where to Order Great Takeout and Eat It Outdoors | Eater Boston
"What to Eat: Social distancing guidelines dictate that the line is often out the door at this Jamaica Plain Dominican spot. The line was often out the door before social distancing guidelines were instituted, however. Get the the orejita (pig ears) and the rotisserie chicken. Alex’s Chimis has been a mainstay on Centre Street for two decades and is one of the city’s best Dominican restaurants. Where to Eat: The Arnold Arboretum isn’t exactly close to Alex’s Chimis, but it’s worth the time it takes to get there. The signs say “no picnics,” but there’s plenty of woody coverage in the park behind which to hide while you eat those fried pig ears. Just make sure to pick up after yourself. The arboretum is pristine, and littering is, simply put, trash. Less inclined to rule-breaking? Try the Mozart Street Playground, just a couple blocks from the restaurant on Centre Street.
