In this episode, I catch up with my mate Kelly from Boston. Kelly tells me about three Boston institutions steeped in history that are a must-eat when she is visiting her hometown. You can really hear the pride in this episode - Kelly sells Boston well!

First up, Kelly talks about her favourite seafood restaurant called Union Oyster House. Kelly likes this place because of the: 

·      Quintessential New England seafood experience, including lobster, oysters, steamers, and crab cakes

·      Clam chowder and oyster crackers – her go-to order.

The second place is Kelly’s and her family’s go-to pizza spot, called Pizzeria Regina. Some highlights:

·      Really big and classic Neapolitan style cheese pizza

·      Located in the historical North End where there are lots of great bakeries and you can walk the Freedom Trail

·      Great value, consistent quality, and good for families (don’t mind the salty waitresses).

Finally, we finish with a nightcap at J.J. Foley’s Cafe:

·      Early 1900s style Irish bar open all hours, but at its best after midnight

·      The go to drink is Guinness

·      Because this one is not touristy and has a discrete front, you might miss it. It is in an area with a lot of fun touristy Irish pubs.
