3. Lamb shish kebab from Greek Corner

The Greek Corner has been a staple in the community in 1989. They are still going strong and if you haven’t tried the lamb shish kebab, well then, you need to get there yesterday. These are the top things to eat in Boston!

Amorino’s gorgeous and instagram worthy gelato flowers are as delicious as they are beautiful. With over 20 flavors to choose from, you can make your flower to suit your tastes. You can even add a French macaron of your choice to the center. If flowers aren’t your things, cups are also an option.

7. Oreo cookie fudge from Cabot’s Candy

The Oreo cookie flavor fudge is one of Cabot’s most popular and with good reason! It’s like eating oreo cookie filling with oreo cookie bits! This is one fudge you won’t want to share with your roommate. (If you’re thinking of a trip outside of Cambridge, I recommend you visit Ye Olde Pepper Candy Companie in Salem, the country’s oldest candy store.)

8. A slice of pizza from Angelo’s

This is a little pizza place in Cambridge, right on Broadway. They offer single slices which are amazing and budget friendly! This place has been around for years and will be for many more. They don’t have a website and they don’t need one. The word of mouth is good enough for pizza this tasty. These are the top things to eat in Boston!

9. The Gobbler from All Star Sandwich bar

This sandwich is like Thanksgiving on bread and it’ll make you crave mom’s cooking. I have yet to find a sandwich that I didn’t like from here. With what seems like infinite options, you’re sure to find your favorite sandwich.

10. Any bagel with coffee at Black Sheep Bagel

Featured in ‘The Harvard Crimson’ these bagels are seriously delicious! There are so many amazing ways to eat your bagel, although the ricotta toast is a personal favorite.

11. A burger and a beer at Charlie’s Kitchen

If you’re 21 or older, feel free to enjoy this classic combination. There are 18 beers on tap and you’re sure to find one you like. Just remember to drink responsibly.

12. A Reuben from Veggie Galaxy

I couldn’t forget the vegetarians! As a corned beef lover I can attest that the Reuben, made with corned beef seitan is a delicious vegetarian take on a classic.

13. Brisket and corn bread from The Smoke Shop

Everything at The Smoke Shop is insanely delicious, but their brisket melts in your mouth! They have two locations and both are open until 1:00 AM on the weekends, so you’re sure to find the time to stop by and spoil yourself.

Shepard can be a little on the pricey side for a young college student, but it’s a great place to have dinner with your family, with a date, or for a celebration, like, say, your graduation? Although their menu is small, their seafood is all fresh and caught locally.

Darwin’s offers a welcoming and quiet atmosphere coupled with amazing matcha lattes. It’s a great place to unwind, study and even meet new people, since it is frequented by Harvard students, Lesley students, faculty and locals.

Pressed Juicery offers delicious juice options for a 1 day or 3 day cleanse. Just be sure to check with your doctor, a juice cleanse isn’t safe for everyone and if you can’t go on a cleanse, you can still enjoy a delicious juice. These are the top things to eat in Boston!

20. A cannoli from Mike’s Pastry

Mike’s Pastry is a staple in the Boston area. The line usually goes outside the door, but it is so worth the wait. One cannoli is never enough, which is probably why even in ‘The Godfather’ they knew to “leave the gun, take the cannoli.”
