Boston: Great Food For Less




Vacations can be expensive....the cost of travel, hotels, attractions adds up...but food doesn't have to. There are many great places in Boston that are not only delicious but are also not htat expensive. I am going to take you through two of my favorite places to eat that are diverse and are absolutely delicious.

My first place is Feneuil Hall. Feneuil Hall Market Place has 14 restaurants and over 36 international food vendors right outside making it the largest food hall in New England. My favorite vendor is the New England Clam Chowder. It is the best clam chowder in a bread bowl in the city and is not expensive, only at about $5.

The second place is full of Italian Heritage and home to some of the best bakeries in the city....The North End. North End is right out side of Boston and is known for its Italian heritage. Home to most Boston's Italians and Italian food, North End has endless choices of Italian restaurants and bakeries. Most famous bakery here is Mike's Pastry. It has endless varieties of Italian homemade pastries that are delicious and affordable. Please visit the official Mike's Pastry website at: http://www.mikespastry.com/
