Planning a trip to Massachusetts?
00:02
Get ready to embark on a culinary adventure through the heart of New England.
00:06
From the bustling streets of Boston to the windswept shores of Cape Cod,
00:10
this state is a foodie's dream come true.
00:13
Whether you're a seafood lover, a fan of classic sweets,
00:16
or curious about the region's comfort food,
00:19
here are the top 10 must-try dishes that will take your taste buds on a historic journey.
00:24
First up, New England clam chowder.
00:27
This iconic soup is thick, creamy, and packed with tender clams,
00:32
hearty potatoes, and just the right amount of seasoning.
00:35
The best way to enjoy it?
00:37
Served piping hot in a sourdough bread bowl by the harbor,
00:40
with a view of the boats bobbing in the water.
00:43
Just remember, around here, it's all about the creamy New England style,
00:47
not the tomato-based Manhattan version.
00:49
Next, the lobster roll.
00:51
While Maine may get the spotlight, Massachusetts has perfected this seaside classic.
00:56
Picture sweet, succulent lobster meat piled high in a toasted, buttery bun.
01:02
You can order it cold with a touch of mayo,
01:04
or warm with a drizzle of melted butter.
01:07
Either way, it's an essential bite when you're near the coast,
01:11
especially in Cape Cod's charming seafood shacks.
01:14
For those with a sweet tooth, Boston cream pie is a must.
01:17
Despite its name, it's actually a cake, featuring layers of light sponge cake,
01:23
luscious vanilla custard, and a glossy chocolate glaze.
01:27
Born in Boston and crowned as the state's official dessert,
01:30
every forkful is a taste of local history and pure indulgence.
01:34
No trip to Boston would be complete without sampling baked beans.
01:38
After all, they don't call it bean town for nothing.
01:42
These slow-cooked beans are simmered with molasses and salt pork,
01:46
creating a rich, slightly sweet flavor that's both comforting and timeless.
01:51
Look for them at classic diners or old-school taverns for an authentic experience.
01:56
Seafood fans can't miss fried clams.
01:59
These crunchy, golden bites are a local obsession,
02:03
especially when ordered with bellies,
02:05
the juiciest, most flavorful part of the clam.
02:08
Ipswich is famous for serving up the best,
02:11
and one bite will have you hooked on their salty, ocean-fresh taste.
02:15
If you're catching a Red Sox game, grab a Fenway Frank.
02:18
This legendary ballpark snack is a steamed beef hot dog
02:22
tucked into a soft, top-split bun.
02:24
It's simple, nostalgic, and best enjoyed with a squiggle of mustard
02:29
as you cheer from the stands at Fenway Park.
02:32
Step back in time with Johnny Cakes, a colonial-era staple.
02:37
These cornmeal pancakes have crispy edges and a soft, tender inside.
02:42
They're delicious with butter and maple syrup,
02:44
or even topped with seafood for a savory twist.
02:47
Seafood lovers should also try Scrod.
02:50
Often confused with cod or haddock,
02:52
Scrod is whatever white fish is freshest that day.
02:55
Lightly breaded and either baked or broiled to perfection.
02:59
Ask for it at Boston's seafood restaurants.
03:02
You'll always get the catch of the day.
03:04
Don't forget Parker House Rolls.
03:07
Invented at Boston's historic Parker House Hotel,
03:10
these buttery, pillow-soft rolls are golden on the outside
03:13
and fluffy on the inside.
03:15
One taste, and you'll understand why they're a New England classic.
03:19
You'll definitely want seconds.
03:20
Last but not least, Massachusetts is famous for its cranberry treats.
03:25
The state is one of the country's top cranberry producers,
03:28
and you'll find these tart, ruby red berries
03:31
in everything from muffins and sauces to cocktails.
03:35
Visit in the fall for the freshest flavors
03:37
and sample the local harvest at its peak.
03:40
Massachusetts serves up history and flavor in every bite,
03:43
from Boston to the Berkshires.
03:45
Save this list before your next visit
03:48
and eat like a true New Englander.
03:50
