For me it's
James Hook & Co just off Atlantic Ave in Boston, on the water.
It's like an old double-wide trailer which has been fixed up.
They have inside seating at small tables. Outside there are two picnic tables.
Businessmen, lawyers, bankers, and such from the nearby Financial District walk over each day
for a quick lunch. A few other locals who are "in-the-know" flood in, too.
It's located just a short walk from Custom House, maybe 4-5 blocks, and definitely worth the trip.
When we arrive, we RUN there for a Lobster Roll and their world-class Clam Chowder.....best anywhere!
The lobster roll is amazing enough, but the clam chowder is able to soothe even the coldest Boston day,
perfectly piping hot as it makes its way down and into your soul.
It's one of the places we dream about after we've left Boston, and it gets us back.
We've visited Boston 4 times in the last 5 years, and will go back next October.
To say we can't wait is an understatement.
I owe knowing about this place ultimately to my dear TUG friend and Boston native Jeanne, aka Beaglemom3,
who told another dear TUG friend John, aka "jont" (Thank you too, John!), who told me.
Maybe one of the best tips of my life!!! It has brought us much joy.
Thanks, Jeanne!

P.S.
I don't have a "Boston Strong" T-shirt,
but I did have one made that says,
"Boston Soon".
