Karen and Joel and I were in for a treat last week when we sat down with Marc from HiddenBoston.com.
Marc has spent a number of years writing on the Boston food scene beyond the tourist routes. He specializes in getting into the neighborhoods and checking out the places that are off the beaten path and has put together over 2000 pages of content on his site at HiddenBoston.com. He does a great job of breaking things down by Cuisine, Region and Cost to it’s easy to find what you want on his site. For instance in the Ethnic Foods section, he has you covered from Afghan to Vietnamese.
We started off asking him for recommendations around the Seaport area where we’ll be for the Affiliate Summit conference and branched out from there and ended up talking Fenway Park area food and Irish Pub Grub for the return trip after Tuesday night’s Red Sox game. Enjoy the podcast:

Some of his picks were:
Near the Seaport:
Eastern Pier – Hong Kong Style Seafood and Chinese food – not much to look at from outside, great view and “boat up” service with food and payment made by bucket out the window to boats waiting at the dock.
Salvatore’s – local Italian chain joint with funky “Euro” feel
The Channel Cafe – In the 4 Point Channel District – combo restaurant/ art gallery with great sandwiches, soups and salads
Ethnic:
Shanti – mid to upscale Indian food in Dorcester – great food and service – light crowds every time Marc has been in.
Pho So 1Boston – Vietnamese noodle soup joint on Dorcester Avenue.
Mark recommends Dorcester Avenue for a variety of affordable ethnic cuisines.
Fenway Park Area:
We had a great time with Marc and look forward to investigating some of his recommendations in just over a week.  You can check out his site at www.hiddenboston.com

Always looking for new restaurants to try when in Boston – it's my favorite city! My husband and I went to Brown Sugar Cafe with some friends the last time we were in the city – such great food!
