"'There was a time when Boston's food scene was as predictable as the Green Line at rush hour: not perfect but getting the job done,' the publication wrote. 'This was the city of just-fine steaks in wood-panelled dining rooms, red sauce by the gallon in the North End, and lobster rolls and fried clams in every direction - it was dependable and very Boston, but hardly adventurous or exciting. But in recent years, the city has pulled off the reinvention of the century.'"
"There is some truth to that. For decades the safest concepts - steakhouses, Italian cuisine, and seafood - were the restaurants opening in Boston and are still prominent fixtures in the restaurant scene today. But Greater Boston has also seen growth in its niche bakeries, Asian cuisine, and more. But the list spends one paragraph touting the Seaport, a hate-it-or-love-it kind of neighborhood that is made up of lots of eateries, though few of them are independently owned."
Boston appears among ten global food destinations for 2026 as the only American city on that list, highlighted for global flavours, waterfront dining, and increased neighbourhood activity. The city's dining history centered on steakhouses, Italian restaurants, and seafood, while recent years have seen growth in niche bakeries, Asian cuisine, and other offerings across Greater Boston. The Seaport neighborhood hosts many eateries, though many are not independently owned. Notable restaurants mentioned in the Seaport and nearby areas include Ci Siamo, Mai, Lakon Paris Patisserie, Taiyaki NYC, and Woods Hill Pier 4.
