Super Foodie Event

Eating out will never be quite this good again. From fine cheeses and unique desserts, beer tasting, old school Italian, Southern Bbq and Latin Food galore, you have to check out this amazing food event happening very close to you!

     Over 100 eateries are packed into our small corner of Boston. Tucked between the harbor, Logan International airport, a  proposed Casino Development and  Belle Isle Marsh, East Boston has long been home to immigrants who seek enriched lives and often find it by sharing their food culture and investing in restaurants. Few restaurants here are considered American, but somehow each and every Italian, Columbian, Mexican, Pakistani and Vietnamese restaurant seems to fit in just fine. We don’t know how that works, but we love it all the same. When it comes to food in East Boston, there are no outsiders, nothing that doesn’t work and certainly no craving left unfilled. Perhaps at the hub of the East Boston food scene is Day Square which features about 30 restaurants and eateries in one little square. With East Boston’s newest wave of immigrants and newcomers come new food fashions.  Restaurants open almost weekly here, most recently a Vietnamese Pho and Sandwhich shop called New Saigon opened near Orient Heights train station. Said to be better than any in China Town.

     Recently, several foodie sites discovered our secret and leaked it out. This year, one event will make it clear where Boston’s real food is! East Boston Main Streets in collaboration with more than 25 restaurants, Massport, The Hilton Hotel, and many others will present the largest Taste of Eastie ever. With 28 restaurants signed up from East Boston and surrounding areas, this event simply is the best food event of the year not just on our side of the harbor, but anywhere in Boston. From fine cheeses and unique desserts, beer tasting, old school Italian, Southern Bbq and Latin Food galore, this event will have it all!

Tickets are available on eventbrite or at the door.
