Quincy Market

Quincy Market (Faneuil Hall Marketplace, Boston, Massachusetts)

What's there to do in Boston (for non Red Sox and non Harvard/MIT fans) other than eat seafood? Go to Quincy Market, a.k.a. Faneuil Hall Marketplace... to eat more food. And seafood.

From my understanding and mini exploration, there are three long buildings that make up the bulk of Quincy Market. One of them has mostly dine-in restaurants, another has mostly stores with non-edible product, and the middle one is where the cafeteria style food is at. Our intention was to try a bunch of food from different vendors instead of eating at only one restaurant. We didn't really succeed because what we ordered was pretty filling.
We stopped by a cookie shoppe at the request of Jess's cravings. The Chipyard offers a small variety of cookies that all or almost all have chocolate chips in them.

I'm a fan of the peanut butter chocolate chip cookie:
Soft and delicious.

Through the window, we saw a huge mixer that could probably fit Jess in it. It was exciting.

The website offers online ordering. Looking at the available flavours on the site, I wish they offered banana chocolate chip in store.

I got the seasonal special ($17.75 USD) which included a cup of clam chowder and a lobster roll:
While I didn't enjoy the brown edges of the greenery in my sandwich, I did enjoy the large chunks of lobster. The chowder had large chunks of potato. It was okay, but not as good as the one from Legal (see previous post). Jess said it tasted like Campbell's. Yay to those crackers!


One shouldn't dilly-dally if the hallway is relatively clear because it can get pretty crowded.

Chowda!
