What to expect
Our tour route will bring us through the historic, 200+-year-old outdoor Haymarket Market (Fridays and Saturdays only).
Our first stop is the two+-year-old, indoor Boston Public Market, which is a must-visit, whether a local or a visitor to Boston. The Market is comprised of up to forty local food vendors, some of whose stories we'll hear firsthand. We'll also enjoy tastings throughout, including a popular, largely-regional doughnut*, infused maple syrups, roasted nuts, and drinking vinegars. And how could we forget seafood? Will a lobster roll tasting at a Best of Boston Fish Market do? We thought so!
In the North End (Little Italy), we'll visit THREE Best of Boston winners: a lines-out-the-door sandwich shop, a THREE-TIME Best of Boston Bread Bakery, and an award-winning pastry shop. And we'll enjoy freshly-made cheese in a *very* hidden Old World salumeria featured on Travel Channel's "Zimmern's List". You're not afraid of alleys, are you?
Our finale? Cannoli, of course!
