Highlights

Boston’s story didn’t end with the American Revolution—it only got more delicious. Shaped by waves of immigration, global trade, and constant innovation, Boston and its food have evolved. Every bite tells a piece of the city’s history, even some we're not proud of. Food reflects who we are—your culture, your environment, and your economy—and in Boston, that spans centuries of change. On this walking tour, you’ll explore Boston’s rich history through the lens of what its people have harvested, eaten, and produced—from pre-Colonial Native Americans to the 20th century. Discover how molasses fueled candy and commerce, cod fed empires, science expanded diets, and tea sparked revolution. We’ll taste classic New England dishes and modern Boston favorites, plus some sweet surprises you might not realize have local roots! If you’re hungry to go beyond the Freedom Trail and experience Boston’s history through its flavors, this tour is for you. Bring your appetite and your walking shoes.

About Boston

Boston, the capital of Massachusetts, is a compact harbour city of colonial history, red-brick streets, universities and seafood on the New England coast.

Boston was founded in 1630 and played a central part in the American Revolution, and its Freedom Trail, a red line on the pavement, links sixteen sites across the old centre, from Boston Common to Charlestown. Beacon Hill has gas lamps, cobbled streets and brick row houses, while the North End, the old Italian quarter, has the Old North Church and the Paul Revere House.

Top-ranked sights in Boston: Boston North End, Boston Old State House, Massachusetts State House.
