Join me for an epic 24-hour food tour of Boston 🍕🦞
Showing you the best food in Boston!
In this episode, we’re diving deep into the historic and delicious food scene of Boston, Massachusetts. From legendary North End pastries to world-famous sandwiches and iconic New England seafood, we’re hitting all the must-visit spots in this incredible World Cup host city.
In this video, we visit:
Modern Pastry: A six-generation Italian staple in the North End. We’re talking perfect cannolis, lobster tails, and those famous rainbow cookies!
Sam LaGrassa’s: Home of the legendary Chipotle Pastrami and the massive Pastrami Diablo.
Regina Pizzeria: A Boston institution since 1926. We check out their historic brick oven and taste why they’re famous for the best cheese pizza in town.
Atlantic Fish Co: No trip to Boston is complete without New England Clam Chowder in a bread bowl and, of course, a massive, fresh Lobster Roll.
Boston’s food heritage is as rich as its history, and I’m exploring the community and flavours that make this city a top food destination. Whether you’re a local or planning your next trip, these are the legendary eats you can’t miss!

being born and raised right in the heart of boston and owning my own business in boston center, i have literally never even heard of that sandwhich place i am so upset i have missed out. i am headed there right now and it isnt even 9am.
Wow! You got some good advice on where to eat! Anyone could tell you that Regina Pizzeria (original Thacher Street location only) and Sam LaGrassa's are the best in Boston. However, while a lot of people would send you to Mike's Pastry; real North Enders (and your sources) know the best is Modern Pastry across the street. Why? No matter how busy it is, when you order cannolis (or lobster tails) at Modern, they take the shells into the kitchen and fill them with your choice of three creams. At Mike's, the cannolis are prefilled. So what? As soon as the cream hits the shell, moisture starts softening it.
9:35 $27 is insane for a 3-way. Any roast beef shop on the north shore would be half that for a Jumbo.
24 hours? You could have done Boston in 24 minutes. Most of their famous dishes were created by people who had their tongues removed at birth.
Spoiler: The stadium hosting the games is 40 mins south of Boston. Worse with traffic.
Dang, John is rather handsome
You hit the best of the best here! Modern Pastry is the best hands down! IMO no one beats Sam's Black Romanian Pastrami. I love pastrami and I can't eat anything but Sam's since my first bite. When I bring friends there for the first time they think it's a bit expensive until they try it. One friend said the Pastrami was Life Changing. LOL I try to make Sam's a regular stop when in downtown Boston. I do not do seafood at all (allergies) but I am surprised you didn't hit Union Oyster house it's a Boston icon. When friends visit me they want to go there first for sea food. They all rave about it. Ragina's in the North End is the best of all their other places. IMO it's the oven they cook in. I have been going there since I was a kid my relatives lived in the North End and a few of them have worked there over the years. Another Icon of the North End is Umberto's something you should put on your list is you come back.
If you don’t pop down to Rhode Island, you will miss out on one of the greatest culinary states in the country.
bless to live here for college lol
The North Shore Beef is a cult in the greatest way possible. There are about a dozen or mom and pop shops that make some of the most incredible NSBs. Bella's in North Andover is my local favorite, but allegedly C+S in Pepperell (about an hour northwest of Boston) was crowned champion this year.
u ain’t go to boston if u ain’t go to ernestos
Just left Boston after 29 years! Or far away, but man do I miss it already… ALSO modern forever!
Ever place in Boston has rats and cockroaches. You couldn’t pay me to eat in Boston.
I’m in New England of many generations and I’ve lived the majority of my life either in Boston or just outside of it. Nothing more I love than seeing someone react to the city for the first time. As you found it’s a walkable city, which is one of its greatest attributes. You just scratched the surface mate, hope you come back soon.
WHERE HAS THE BEST FOOD
The irony of doing the food tour in Boston when the games will be played all the way in Foxboro
Boston is not the host "city"…. Foxborough is!
@5:30 hate to break it to you Boston isn’t hosting a World Cup match you got to go to Foxboro.
Thanks for going to Modern, snd not Mikes.
man ive lived in boston all my life and i can confirm the food here is trash
Nice video glad you enjoyed!
The funny thing is Boston isnt even near where the World Cup games are being played lol
$28 for a pastrami sandwich is highway robbery.
Great video man! It has been unusually cold for this time a year in Boston
Not the HalaPEE NO 😭🥀🥀
Santarpios in East Boston better than Regina's in my opinion
Hi Only Scrans,
Going to an entire city and only eating at one ethnicity's locations all within the same income bracket and general location is not exploring the food of the "city." It is literally trying only food made specifically by "x" people in a specific general area of "y" city.
All pizzas looked great, but the Supreme pizza looks INCREDIBLE! The Cannoli looks next level as well
Lobster rolls might be my favorite food ever but they are SOOOO expensive it hurts
Glad you enjoyed Boston! Food is great, history is great, culture is great❤
That pizza is not great imo
When it comes to Mike's or Modern, both are fine. Modern is slightly less touristy, but the locals know that Bova's on Salem St. is the place to go hands down.
"It folds them and waits to see what you're about." Best take on Boston I've ever heard.
No mention of Rhode Island clam chowder??? The absolute best?? New England if you want to shit, manhattan if you don’t, Rhode Island if you want the best!
