Dining in Boston


As long as there are fish in the sea, Boston will be a seafood town. New England clam chowder is Boston's most famous delicacy and is a must try. But while traditional sea fare is as popular as ever, interesting new
restaurants of all varieties are popping up every day across the city.

Legal Sea Foods
Boston's most famous seafood chain is simply the place to go for a cup of New England clam chowder. Legal's clam chowder is so good it has been served at every presidential inauguration since 1981.
