Boston express food tour

+6 photos
Boston packs centuries of history into just a few square miles, and this express food tour is designed to taste the best of it in two hours. No filler, no detours. Just the dishes, the stories, and the neighbourhoods that define this city.It begins at Quincy Market, under the copper dome that once housed one of America's great 19th-century food halls. The first stop sets the tone: classic Boston Lobster, served alongside the story of how the Atlantic shaped everything Boston eats.From there, the route heads into the North End, the city's oldest neighbourhood and its most delicious. Inside a traditional salumeria where aged provolone and cured meats hang from the ceiling, guests taste premium cheese and Prosciutto di Parma, a direct line to the immigrant kitchens that made this district legendary.The walk passes the home of Paul Revere, where the stories get stranger and richer, including the tale of the Great Molasses Flood. Then comes a slice of North End pizza, thin-crusted, charred, and oversized in the best possible way.
