"The Boston Sail Loft on the edge of the North End overlooking the harbor is beloved by almost everyone who grew up inside the 95 loop. The cuppa chowder comes overflowing in a mug, and delivers extreme creaminess with a side of oyster crackers. They nail the traditional New England fare of twin lobsters, broiled scrod or scallops, and have a menu packed with fried shellfish that can satisfy any seafood shack craving. The bar is hopping after work and on weekends, which is exactly when you want to show up. Get a cold Jack’s Abby, and go to town on a plate of fried scallops." - Tanya Edwards
