There is more than just baseball going on when you are in or around Fenway Ballpark. Finding a good bite to eat before a game or after used to be a hard find but not anymore. Yes there is the famous Fenway Franks but there are so many other great places to eat in the area. Well before a Red Sox game or after a game there are five places that you should try when you are in the Fenway section of Boston.
The first, Citizen Public House at 1310 Boylston St.,is known for their Adobo pork shoulder tacos which are $8 each. This is a steal compared to what you could pay for something in the ballpark. It you are really hungry you can try the Citizen Burger which is only $14 but is a full meal in itself
Sweet Cheeks on 1381 Boylston St. is a great place to grab barbeque before or after a game. The Colossal Biscuits is a signature dish at Sweet Cheeks and are $3 each or $10 for four. The inside scoop with the Colossal Biscuits is that you do not need a butter because they already have lots of butter in the recipe. When it comes to the barbeque you should order the pulled pork sandwich which is $12. The reason that you should order the pulled pork sandwich is because it is made from moist pulled pork and goes well with the Colossal Biscuit.
La Verdad which is on Landsdowne Street offers to die for Mexican food at affordable prices. You can get the all the traditional Mexican dishes but there are a few real stand outs on the menu. First is the grilled corn, which is not your normal grilled corn because it is topped with butter, garlic, parmesan and lime. In addition to grilled corn, Mike the General Manager, says“the tortas are our most popular food item before and after a game” The Boston Red Sox players frequent La Verdad , so you might share a table with Big Papi!
Island Creek Oyster Bar is on 500 Comm Ave is a great place to get an oyster slider and clam chowder. The Island Creek Oyster Bar offers many great seafood dishes but there are two that are just out of this world. The first is crispy oyster sliders which are $2 each and with each bite take you to oyster heaven. You cannot go anywhere in Massachusetts without having a bowl of clam chowder. The clam chowder at Island Creek Oyster Bar is a great place to try the traditional soup because it is packed with bacon, potatoes, and clams.
The Bleacher Bar, which is on 82 Lansdowne St., is a great place to grab a drink and a hotdog. The great thing about the Bleacher Bar is that it is located beneath the centerfield bleachers in Fenway Park. Matt, one of the bartenders at the Bleacher Bar, says “patrons mainly get the Bud Light and Fenway Franks.”Patrons can come to the Bleacher Bar before, during and after the game.
So what place would you like to try?
