I lived here for 2 years and ate out almost every weekend so i feel like I have a solid grasp on the boston food scene

Buttermilk & Bourbon

Southern restaurant (US) · Back Bay

southern food tapas - fried chicken, alligator fries, biscuits, etc. buttery and rich and delicious

Blackbird Doughnuts

Donut shop · Fenway

they have an everything bagel donut that's so good - it's like an everything bagel but instead of a bagel it's a donut (not sweet)

not really a list of boston eats without tatte. their brunch options are solid and their pastry case is even better. personal favorite - pistachio croissant

Mamaleh’s

great jewish deli with a very solid lox bagel. my personal favorite is their LEO it's scrambled egg, lox, and onion on a challah roll

Trillium Brewing Company

Pammy's

New American restaurant · Cambridge

has a gochujang bolognese that's SO GOOD

El Pelon Taqueria

Permanently Closed

best burritos in boston (which isn't saying much but kept my LA ass alive in the winters)

Mike's Pastry

Pastry shop · North End

best cannoli in boston - trust me i did a side by side taste test with mike's, modern, and bova's. mike's has the most ricotta-y filling and is the least sweet. modern's was too sweet and my least favorite, and bova's was in the middle - their filling was a bit too vanilla-y for me. my go to at mike's is the pistachio cannoli. CASH ONLY

Mamma Maria

Italian restaurant · North End

classic italian restaurant with a great selection of non-pasta entrees

Seafood restaurant · North End

seafood pasta restaurant. you choose the seafood & pasta sauce. my favorite is clams in white sauce - an amazing vongole pasta. CASH ONLY

James Hook & Company

Seafood restaurant · Downtown

imo best cold lobster rolls in the city. juicy plump pieces of lobster coated in mayo in a hot buttered bun. perfection

Eventide

Oyster bar restaurant · Fenway

fresh amazing oysters & amazing lobster rolls. their clam chowder is LOADED with clams and a bit of nori oil so it's so savory and gosohae

Yume Ga Arukara

Udon noodle restaurant · Agassiz

best udon in boston - the noodles are hand made and their cold udon is phenomenal
