From Fancy Feasts to Friendly Finds: Boston's Restaurant Rundown
Michelin Starry Skies: Let's face it, you might need to loosen your belt (and maybe sell a kidney) for these places, but the food is so good it might make you weep tears of joy (or maybe that's just the onion soup). We're talking Tasting menus with more courses than a Harvard education, and wine lists longer than a Fenway Park hot dog line.
Pro Tip: Dress to impress, unless you want to get mistaken for the delivery guy (it happens to the best of us).
Comfort Food Champs: Boston's got your back (and your belly) when it comes to casual eats. Chow down on a juicy lobster roll bigger than your head, slurp down a steaming bowl of clam chowder, or dive into a plate of baked beans (they're a Boston thing, trust us).
QuickTip: Skim the first line of each paragraph.
Pro Tip: Don't be surprised if your table neighbor ends up being a talking Red Sox statue. It's a Boston thing (maybe?).
International Eats: Feeling like a trip around the world without leaving Beantown? Boston's got you covered. From Ethiopian stews to delicate Japanese sushi, your taste buds can have a global party.
Pro Tip: Learn to say "thank you" in a few different languages. It'll impress your server and make you seem worldly (even if you're just there for the pho).
Tip: Remember, the small details add value.
Navigating the Boston Restaurant Maze: Don't Be a Hungry Tourist!
Reservations - For those fancy feasts, a reservation is your BFF. Unless you enjoy staring longingly at occupied tables while your stomach growls a sad opera.
Budget - Prices vary wildly, so decide if you're feeling fancy or frugal before you head out. Just remember, a hot dog at Fenway Park is an experience (and a financial commitment) all its own.

BYOB - Some spots are BYOB (bring your own bottle), so you can save some cash on vino (wine) and unleash your inner sommelier (wine expert).
Tip: Focus more on ideas, less on words.
Pro Tip: BYOB doesn't mean BYOBBQ (bring your own barbecue). Stick to the beverages, please.
