Boston, MA
Pourhouse
907 Boylston St. Boston MA
617-236-1767
This is a Boylston street dive frequented by BU, Emerson, and Northeastern students. The food is awful but the burgermania (saturday nights burgers half price) is about the best deal ever.

Legal Seafoods
800 Boylston Street
Boston, MA 02199
Phone: (617) 266 6800
Back when I lived in Boston I thought Legal's was a Boston chain but now they have locations down the east coast. Not that that makes it bad exactly, their clam chowder and lobster rolls are pretty much the quintessential examples or their respective species. They have all this mumbo jumbo about testing their seafood too so you always feel real confident eating lots of raw stuff. If you're in Boston there's probably one nearby.

Finale
One Columbus Avenue
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 423-3184
A great place for high end desserts ( and they only serve dessert).

The North End
(Use Hanover St. and Prince St. for mapping devices)
Boston's North End is a neighborhood historically home to Italian immigrants and one of a handful of places to go for authentic Italian American food. Take the T to haymarket and ask directions, or go the opposite direction of the people with Mike's Pastry boxes.The restaurants aren't that important, or different in my opinion, just go to the North End, stroll around for a minute, and pick one - one that isn't too crowded or too empty. And pick up something from Mike's Pastry to take to the hotel room; the tiramisu cup and pitzelles are recommended.
