Bostonians.....what to do in Boston?

[Mike Jett]

Clam chowder here is great, but i'd avoid Legal Seafoods. I've noticed it's pretty much Boston's joke on the tourists. It's not great.

Make sure you spend time in Back Bay. That's pretty much my only recommendation. I'd try to make it up to see the Beacon Hill neighborhood also, right by the Common.

Mike,

Care to recommend good joints for clam chowder? I think Legal is pretty good, my only gripe with it is the quantity.

B&G Oysters is a sweet 'new' style seafood place w/ great chowda. also get the lobster BLT, great.

Summer Shack is a less touristy version of Legals. decent chowder.

Kingfish

Turner Fisheries

the best clam chowder i've ever had was at mike's in fairhaven (or is it in mattapoisett?), but that's not a feasible ride from woburn just for the chowder.

wtf? i'm not saying there's not better around (i haven't been to union oyster house yet but want to) but legal chowder is incredible.

[Kneel B4 Zod]

it's kind of passe to say this, but Legals has gone wayyy downhill. it's basically a place tourists go now. the food is just ok now.

[daryn]

yeah i don't know about that one. i mean they have them up and down the east coast now. do you think the entire chain's business is just from tourists? i wonder how many tourists go to the one at the burlington mall. the food is good.
