Boston Winter Food Hunt｜Restaurant Log 📝

🏵️ Stop 6: Quincy Market Also located along the Freedom Trail. I grabbed clam chowder and a lobster roll to enjoy as Thanksgiving lunch—better safe than sorry, since many good restaurants are closed on holidays 😅. The lobster roll sauce and clam chowder were rich and creamy; the buttery bread paired with fresh, tender lobster meat was heavenly. The chowder was generously loaded with seafood too 👍. 🧨 Stop 7: Mike's Pastry An iconic pastry shop, but honestly, the desserts weren’t particularly outstanding. The place was packed and chaotic—hard to even find the line. The management seemed a bit messy amid the crowds. Not worth waiting in line for. 🏆 Dryft Revere Hands down the best meal of my Boston trip! The service wasn’t overly warm, but the food was absolutely incredible 😋. Ate here after visiting Revere Beach—continuing the ocean vibes 🌊. The salmon was tender and juicy, and the mussels were fresh with seasoning that enhanced rather than overpowered the natural seafood flavor. It was slightly salty on its own, but dipping the bread in the broth was divine! 🏵️ Stop 9: The Daily Catch Waterfront Ate here after exploring the New England Aquarium. My friend and I shared a single lobster pot with a side of squid ink pasta—so filling we skipped dinner! The seafood was super fresh and well-seasoned. The lobster pot had a mild spiciness that even a spice-averse person like me could handle. 🧨 Stop 10: Milkweed Came for brunch, but it was pretty underwhelming. Who called this the best brunch in Boston? 😒 The staff seemed casual to the point of indifference. My vegetable omelet had oddly sweet corn, and my friend’s signature dish came with an overly rich sauce. Even their praised toast didn’t stand out. It was filling, but just not my taste. #WinterAndFood #Foodie #StudentEats #WinterFoodDelights #OasisInFoodDesert #BostonTravel
