Boston Eats

Every year I visit Boston, I take one day whilst the Mullins are hard at work, and take the best public transportation ever, into the city to Newbury Street (a street full of shops I cannot afford) and lunch all by myself (I check my phone frequently to look like I am occupied when really I am not) at Stephanie's.

I always order the same thing: the Classic Chunky Chicken Salad. It is hands down the best chicken salad I have ever tasted. It comes with a side salad of fresh tomatoes (they look like beef steak tomatoes) and greens tossed in a light vinaigrette, and a slice of Irish soda bread with raisins. It is such the perfect combo of creamy, tangy and sweet. The chicken salad is tossed in a light mayo, capers and nuts. The chicken is roasted and comes in huge moist chunks. I love it but I can never finish it ;) I highly recommend visiting this joint for a yummy lunch if you are in the area.


So after visiting the usual, I also experienced a new joint - The Barking Crab, not to be confused with Woodinville's Barking Frog. Although neither species can actually bark, these two places are polar opposites.

Any who, back to the crab... this restaurant should be called the Crab Shack; it just has more of that type of feel to it. Super cute place located downtown on the water, people wearing bibs and crab nets hanging all over the place.

We ordered clams for an app and they were yummy! However, this was the first time I have ever received a clam with the tail or whatever the hell that thing is, still on it. It was grasth...

For dinner I ordered the lobster sandy (when in Rome!) and it was worth the $2o! Fresh lobster chunks, seasoned and laid inside a hot dog bun. It was deelish. I opted for the side salad vs. the gut bomb, I mean french fries. Although pricey, you are in deed getting a fresh catch and the atmosphere is super fun - great place for a group!


Cant wait to get back to my favorite East Coast hot spot in 2010! Later Beantown.
