What fun things are there to do in Quincy Market Boston, MA?

Question

What are some good places to eat that are reasonably priced?

Answer 1

In Fanueil Hall there, there's some fun historical stuff, but in the market itself, it's a gourmet feast. I like to stop at the monkey bar for a quick smoothie, then off to the samples!

I like to get a bowl of chowda and some fried whole clams, then head on over for some gelato. Afterwards, it's window shopping for a while followed by Durgin Park (upstairs) for some great seafood.

Now if it's the weekend, you must visit Haymarket, just a couple blocks over. It's one of the most famous farmer's markets and a lot of fun.

If you want to stray a few blocks from Quincy Market, you're only about a 10 min walk from both the old South meeting house and /or the old cemetary where John Hancock and others are buried.

But, back to food. Since Quincy Market is a huge tourist spot, Durgin Park'll probably be your most reasonable in that area.

Just a few blocks walk to the north end, and you're in Italian Heaven though where you can find fantastic italian food for all budgets.

Hope you enjoy!

Answer 2

Fanueil Hall/Quincy Market area is one of my favorite spots in Boston. There are tons of little shops to look around, and usually street performers, etc. Inside the Quincy Market there are TONS of places to eat, but they aren't restaurants. It's like one big food court with the best foods of Boston all combined. Also, you can walk very easily from this area to the waterfront and to the Aquarium. Another place within walking distance in the North End. There you'll find lots of great Italian bakeries, and restaurants. Also, Fanueil Hall has good places to eat. Union Oyster House claims to be the oldest running restaurant in the country, but its a little pricey. I think for better deals, try the North End.

Just hanging out and having a few beers down there is awesome. Legal Seafood is a great place for seafood. I've also heard from relatives that the Chart House (on pier) has some really good food. If you like Italian food,go over to the north end (walking distance from Quincy market) My personal favorite is a little place called Maurizio's (think it's on Hanover),it's like a holiday at my Aunt's house (we are very Italian). The food was awesome,better then some places here in NY. For afterward,there's a bar called Kinsale(near Gov't Center T-stop) and they are just so great in there. There's a guy who works there (reddish hair,nose rings) who is the coolest. He brought over several small glasses of beer for us to sample! The subways stop running at 1:00 am so be aware of the time! The taxis all come around at that point any how! Enjoy!

Answer 5

I'm not sure if you are here today or you were talking about Monday. But I'll throw out some things anyway: Bunker Hill, you can climb the stairs to the top (and then detour to the USS Constitution if you feel like it) Newbury Street and Prudential, obvi Go to Harvard square Go to a game at Fenway if you can get tix from scalpers. Watch the marathon (Monday)

Answer 6

I have to warn you first - all you are going to get are either business people or tourists.

My history class is going in town - so anyway they'll be tons of tourists. But there is plenty of cheap food. Mostly just take-away style and sit at a table.
