We Ate The Most Iconic Foods In Boston On A $50 Budget
47 Comments
No one in their right mind would go and spend 10.50 on beer. Also… if you are truly on a 50 dollar budget, you would not go to a baseball game.
To really enjoy Boston you need to be ready to spend at least $1,000 /day
Boston is famous for Harvard Companions at everyday rate。
Smart Lovers， Intelligent Conversations。
I Prefer Someone With No Background in Politics。 I Wish For Intelligent Dialogues on Some Other Topics。
Such As Why American Bible is so
remarkably blessed with very high Prediction Accuracy。
Are Marxians Already Living on Earth，Disguising as humans。 What Earthly Religion They Prefer。
10.50 for 1 cup of beer? Jeez
Clams with the bellies. I miss that.
Hookers and cocaine
Having come from a few "Bostonians" who relocated to the Midwest some 60 years ago, the one thing I do know is Boston prices are out of its ass.
I would definitely eat the lobster 🦞 roll, and a cannoli because I’ve never had either.
What restaurant did the bread bowl come here?
sugar cheese and carb .. that's America's food for you
As a Bostonian… I love Boston, but it's soooo expensive here!
I see,food is really cheap at Boston
How do you get a beer and hot dog at a BALLPARK and then rate Boston based on its affordability? Who sponsors this garbage?
Every culinary channel does Massachusetts WRONG.
Super Beef, 3-way, on an onion roll.
That’s Massachusetts.

Lobster rolls are like $30 now, so I could only get one lol
You eat so many iconic foods in one day and then complain that ur budget fell short because these foods are expensive. Girl, please!
Hhhhhh
Sam LaGrassa ALL DAY LONG
She would have had more money if she opted out of the bread bowl or the lobster roll. Too filling for both at the same time.
These are the most touristy and expensive places to eat in all of Boston. And you can get a free Sam Adams if you go tour their local brewery.
Yum! I am hungry now!
Take your $50 head to the aquarium. $37 get you in the door. All you can eat seafood buffet with plenty of drink. You’ll have $13 left over to put towards bail or a scratchie ya bahstid.
I'd buy a lottery ticket instead
Lobster and Clam Chowder looks good
Yeah it's pricy just parking for an hour will cost you more then 50
Sox tickets costs $50, so no food for you
You missed all the wonderful Italian restaurants in the north end.
Damn lobster rolls r usually like $25 alone good fine
40$ for lobster roll today
Lmfao bro they really spent the whole $50 on shitty ass Fenway food.
Isn't Boston more expensive than that?
Pizza best buy
I am in Boston now. The same lobster roll from Quincy market is now $25 to $30 with a lot mayo than actual lobster!
2:37 CRIPPPPPPPP CUHHHH
She shouldn't have bought a drink
Boston doesn’t season it’s food. Bring your own salt, pepper, and favorite hot sauce.
Don’t listen to anybody who eats a lobster roll with a fork
I would like to see how the people in Boston live and how much Puritan influence is left in Boston.
wtf, she failed her own budget? downvote
lobster roll was literally half the budget
Oh, so tasty!! I would like to prove It!! I love lobster!!
Average at best
I’d spend my money in Boston on a greyhound ticket to FL.. and many do
Thats like the worse place to get food
Quincy Market/Fanueil Hall is the biggest tourist trap in the city. Not the place for food values. Fenway Park for any food item is a guaranteed rip-off.
I know this is 4 years old, but to be fair… the food isn't the most expensive part of Boston. Parking is gonna cost you more than fine dining, and forget about cheap admission to anything… everything from museums to library's are going to charge admissions. $50 for food would be much better spent at chinatown restaurants, rather than the overpriced-lackluster food of Quincy market (a tourist trap). And finishing off the video with a $10 beer? smdh
