Best breakfast in Beantown

The wonders that one discovers by chance.

After having a brew one evening at a Boston tavern that had been around for about 145 years and being impressed with the atmosphere of such long-standing locations, we asked for a suggestion of where to have breakfast the following morning.

In the AM it became obvious that in giving and receiving of directions something was lost in translation. After wandering into a primarily commercial area, we decided to backtrack through some old neighborhoods, treed, cobbled and narrow.  On a corner we came across this tiny little sandwich shop with a kitchen that would have been crowded for one, inhabited by three or four cooks.  Not only did we get a fabulous breakfast to eat in the shade of a local park (see below) but the owner gave us a generously complete history of the once tough and notorious little community. It seems quite tranquil now.

Of course, one often has a feeling of being watched despite the peaceful surroundings.


If you're in Boston I suggest you not leave it to chance like we did but actively search out this little gem.  Corner of Church and Fayette.

Gotta watch out for weird characters in these off-the-beaten tourist track areas. Oh...perhaps "beaten" and "tourist" shouldn't be combined in the same sentence. Sounds like a fun trip with many serendipitous discoveries.
