About This Tour

The South End is Boston's most celebrated dining neighborhood — a Victorian brownstone enclave where the city's most ambitious chefs have planted their flags and built something extraordinary.

On this 2.5-hour tour, you'll taste your way through the neighborhood's most celebrated spots: a bite from a James Beard-nominated kitchen, fresh produce from the legendary Haymarket, international street food from the South End's diverse community, and artisan cheese and charcuterie that rivals anything you'd find in Europe.

Your guide will take you behind the scenes of Boston's culinary renaissance — the chefs who took a chance on this neighborhood, the markets that have fed the city for generations, and the immigrant communities whose food traditions make the South End unlike anywhere else in Boston.
