Home is Where the Food is

August 15, 2011 · by Nikki

While living in France I have definitely enjoyed trying new foods and exploring the Parisian culture through its cuisine. And although I certainly am not at a point where I think any one region’s food is better than another’s on the whole, there is definitely an element of comfort surrounding some of the favorite foods I grew up with.

As such, during my stay in the US, I made sure to try and get my hands on the foods I’ve been missing most. Being a New England native, there’s definitely a theme to the foods I’ve been seeking. With that in mind, I’ve compiled a list of the must-eat foods for those visiting the Northeast:

Portsmouth:

  1. Fried Haddock sandwich (with cheese) from River House on Bow Street
  2. Seafood chowder, also from River House
  3. Japanese Wrap (accompanied by a soy shake) from The Juicery on Hanover Street
  4. Anything on the menu at Shio on Lafayette street (near Big Lots), especially the miso soup 😉
  5. Tuna Melt (substitute cheddar for Swiss and hold the tomato) from The Works Bakery Cafe on Congress Street
Boston:
  1. Malai Kofta (preceded by the vegetarian platter as an appetizer) from Kashmir Indian Restaurant on Newbury Street
  2. Tuna Burger from Cafeteria Boston, also on Newbury Street
  3. Crab Cakes from Ned Devines in Faneuil Hall (surprising, but so good!)
  4. A large, original frozen yogurt with strawberries and chocolate chips (though toppings may vary) from Pinkberry, again on Newbury Street
  5. Clam Chowder from Union Oyster House on Union Street (but be warned: you will have the slowest service at this place, regardless of whether it’s dead or packed!)
  6. Lobster Quesadillas from Game On! Boston (another surprise, but these quesadillas could hold their own at any tex-mex establishment!)
Hopefully in a few months I’ll be able to post a similar entry about my favorite French foods. In the meantime, perhaps this can serve as a fish-filled, vegetarian-friendly guide to food some of the best food in Portsmouth and Boston.

Ciao! (literally)
