What to Eat in Boston

Updated June 27, 2020.

Will travel for food! Boston has some pretty iconic eats, so on my recent getaway to “Beantown,” I had to try and eat them all! Well, except the baked beans. I have to save something for next time!

Post-6.9 Mile Run Refreshment Day 1

Breakfast Day 2

BLTCE: Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato with Egg and Cheese

Beverages Day 2
