26 Hidden Gems

Christina's Ice Cream

Save room for dessert

"Christina's Ice Cream" is a post-dinner of mid-afternoon must in Boston. There are 50 flavors of ice cream. I like the chocolate and ginger molasses.

Savenor's

Julia Child's butcher

"Savenor's" in Boston is a proper butcher that can meet my every need. They have other groceries as well, but they also have game meats, incl. ostrich!

Taza Chocolate

Chocolate and nothing but

"Taza Chocolate" Boston - a chocolate factory, but I'll resist the urge to make a Willy Wonka reference. In this shop they make it in the Mexican tradition

Backbar

Don't call it a speakeasy

"Backbar" in Boston is unique. There have been many cocktail bars, but none can compare with this one's industrial/graffiti aesthetic. Flawless bartenders.

"Union Square Donuts" makes vegan donuts in Boston. My meat-eating boyfriend said it all when he said: 'wow, I can't even tell they were vegan!'
