Boston Foodie Tours' ("BFT") focus is our city's rich history, culinary education, and "award-winning best eats", including those of Best of Boston winners, James Beard Award winners, food institutions, and the like. BFT has been awarded the 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013 TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence, and maintains a 5-star guest rating on Yelp.
Boston's emerging Market District, extending three short blocks from Faneuil Hall to the indoor Boston Public Market, incorporates the old and the new. The old includes the 300-year-old Blackstone Block, where our forefathers gathered in pubs; a nearly 200-year-old outdoor "farmer's-like" market; and the oldest, continuously-running restaurant in the country. The new includes the 2015-opened Boston Public Market, with its nearly forty local vendors. A visit to Boston simply wouldn't be complete without a stop here.
While it will be too early in the day to haggle over prices (part of the fun), join us as we visit Haymarket Market, where even Julia Child was known to shop. Together, we'll explore the "soul of the market" by talking to the vendors, hearing their stories, and sampling their goods.
Next, we'll bring you indoors to the new Boston Public Market, where we'll meet with several of the nearly-forty vendors, and will enjoy small tastings throughout. Representative stops: a favorite New England doughnut, roasted nuts, fresh honey, wine and hard ciders (soda for the under-aged), drinking vinegars, and Boston's 2016 Best of Boston Fish Market winner. Stops include two of Thrillist's 2016 Food Bucket List honorees.
Our tour will end with a light lunch at a restaurant rated by Forbes as one of the ten classics in the world. *And* it's the only restaurant in the country designated a historical landmark.
Join Boston's tastiest food tour as we "Stroll. Sample. Savor. Repeat." our way through the city's best eats.
Note: Tour stops subject to change. All alcohol and beverages are extra, as is a tour guide gratuity, should you wish to consider one.
