    Boston is fantastic. Yes you have the mass-holes but as long as you aren’t driving it’s great and when you actually look for food there are plenty of great places.

      This is the key. In my experience, the larger, more obvious places are mediocre, but the small holes in the wall you could easily walk past and never realize they’re there have some fucking amazing food more often than not.

        Excellent by American standards for most of Boston and Greater Boston, which is to say mediocre by European standards. It’s entirely possible to be independently mobile and car free there. Most places are walkable and there are pleasant old buildings and green spaces or plazas or spots overlooking water to stumble upon. It’s a lovely city.
