The Essential Boston November is the month during which we send thank yous to the heavens for our blessings, but its also the month we find ourselves indulging in pursuits of the gluttonous kind, whether at the Thanksgiving table or in an effort to fatten up and fend off the first icy fingers of the winter season. As the region’s fiery foliage gives way to holiday splendor, I encourage you to explore Boston. But, if you only have limited time to make the most of this amazing city, we can show you how. Visit the historic Omni Parker House, where you can get a tasty bit of culture in less than two hours.

Behind the vintage American oak walls of the dining room, Vietnamese Communist leader Ho Chi Minh and human rights activist Malcolm X once served as kitchen staff before they were famous.

Actual food has also contributed to creating Parker’s reputation. The term “scrod” popped up here and the Parker House roll remains one of a kind. A dessert, though, wins the title of most legendary and is even Massachusetts’ official state dessert: Boston cream pie. Have you had it

Fluffy white cake layered with featherweight pastry cream make the base; a light coating of chocolate ganache on top and shaved almonds cover its sides.

TURKEY TALK!

In Boston, turkey dinners with all the trimmings aren’t just eaten on the fourth Thursday of November. The elements of a traditional Thanksgiving feast have their roots right here in New England, and consequently Bostonians have adopted them as their own. Roasted turkey, stuffing, gravy, apple pie, sweet potato pie and Indian pudding are all part of the fun. Eat big while you’re in Boston—Thanksgiving Day or not. BY MAT SCHAFFER

THE DISH: ROAST STUFFED TOM TURKEY Every day is Thanksgiving Day at one of the city’s oldest restaurants. DurginPark’s dinner plate features house-roasted turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and butternut squash. For another taste of New England while you’re there, try the Boston baked beans. 340 Faneuil Hall, 617.227.2038

where the Italian specialties and barbecued ribs are as much a draw as the marinated turkey tips (kabobs), which come with a salad and choice of mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, fries, onion rings, rice, or pasta in tomato sauce. Doggie bags are ubiquitous. 213 Everett Ave., Chelsea, 617.889.1330 THE DISH: SMOKED TURKEY LEG At Seaport District BBQ haven Larry J’s BBQ Café, you can pig out on pulchritudinous pulled pork, racks of ribs, and low and slow brisket.

But don’t miss the delights of a ginormous smoked turkey leg— that will conjure up memories of a childhood trip to Walt Disney World or a past life experience as a cave dweller. 600 D St., South Boston, 617.348.9800

3

THE DISH: TURKEY MEATBALLS Ground turkey mixed with herbs, eggs, breadcrumbs, and lots of grated cheese makes the polpette di tacchino memorably moist. At favorite North End restaurant Vinoteca di Monica, they’re served on toasted bread with tomato-basil sauce or over green-hued spinach spaghetti. 143 Richmond St., 617.227.0311

THE DISH: “FAMOUS” PILGRIM SANDWICH Invented by Mike’s City Diner owner Jay Hajj, the trademark sammie at this South End neighborhood diner is Thanksgiving dinner on a sliced sesame roll: Roast turkey meat, bread stuffing, cranberry sauce and gloriously, gloppy gravy. You need two hands to hold it. 1714 Washington St., 617.267.9393

THE DISH: TURKEY HASH Legendary South End breakfast and lunch counter Charlie’s Sandwich Shoppe, which dates to 1927, is rightfully famous for its savory turkey hash, which is smashed, pancake-thick, into a sauté pan and fried crisp to order. Regulars favor “dropped” (poached) eggs on top. You could substitute sunny-side-up or over-easy eggs, but never scrambled. 429 Columbus Ave., 617.536.7669

7

THE DISH: SWEET POTATO PIE Longtime visitors to Boston will recognize this corner spot as the former home of Bob the Chef’s. Today, under different ownership and a more contemporary vision, Darryl’s Corner Bar & Kitchen is still serving up sensational soul food of which we know Bob would certainly approve—and this absolutely extends to the old-fashioned sweet potato pie with its custardy filling and flaky crust. 604 Columbus Ave., 617. 536.1100

with tomato jam? No wonder turkey gives beef a run for its money at the Boston location of busy national burger chain 5 Napkin Burger. 105 Huntington Ave., 617.375.2277

THE DISH: APPLE PIE Your grandmother may make good apple pie, but is it as good as the homemade apple version at South Street Diner? A slice weighs in at 1 pound, 8 ounces, and is presented piping hot in a ceramic casserole. This is a pie worthy of celebration 24 hours a day— which, coincidentally, is when this Leather District joint is open. 178 Kneeland St., 617.350.0028

8

THE DISH: INDIAN PUDDING Of course, the country’s oldest continuously operated restaurant Union Oyster House would feature America’s oldest dessert—a long-cooked confection of cornmeal, milk and molasses that is still a staple on many New England Thanksgiving tables. Eat it garnished with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for maximum pleasure. 41 Union St., 617.227.2750

Caviar & Cocktails Nancy Batista-Caswell has finally opened her highly anticipated restaurant Oak+Rowan in the Fort Point neighborhood. Although this is the New England restaurateur’s third culinary effort (her first two restaurants reside north in Newburyport) it’s her first in Boston. Chef Justin Shoults prepares land and sea dishes, from the lobster and sweetbreads with potato gnocchi to the bone-in rib-eye with bone marrow bread pudding. Caviar is a special focus, and diners can try it a la tasting formats. Drink enthusiasts enjoy table-side cocktail carts that offers a close-up view into mixology. 319 A St.

Bakeries, cafes and chocolate shops around town boast big flavors and festive autumn-inspired creations.

KANE’S DONUTS With flavors that change by season and locally sourced ingredient, it’s no wonder this spot is a local favorite. Fall Fix: The Maple Bacon doughnut frosted with Vermont maple syrup and topped with cherry-wood smoked bacon.

LADY M. CAKE BOUTIQUE As good to look at as they are to eat, these cakes have become celebratory must-haves. Fall Fix: The Pumpkin Nuage cake, which perfectly combines elements of pumpkin pie and pumpkin cheesecake.

TAZA CHOCOLATE The bold flavors of Taza chocolate shine thanks to minimal processing and organic, direct-trade ingredients. Fall Fix: The Maple Pecan chocolate bar features 70 percent cacao, roasted pecans and a hint of maple.

by Olmsted, and it’s on the National Historic Register. www.emeraldnecklace.org. Back Bay Fens. Map 5, C4; Jamaica Pond. Map 1, E2; Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain. Map 1, E2; Franklin Park, Dorchester. Map 1, E2; Emerald Necklace Conservancy, 617.522.2700.

Salads, soups and a couple sweets make up the rest of the menu.

Vibe is cool and fits right in with the new Fenway. L and D (daily). www.salonikigreek.com. 4 Kilmarnock St., 617.266.0001.

[WHERE INSIDE]

Boston Your Way

First Timer

Foodie

Sports Fan

Home to baseball’s Boston Red Sox, centuryold Fenway Park (1) is one of America’s favorite and most historic ballparks. Since its opening game April 20, 1912, the oddly shaped field has seen the spikes of the Babe, Cy and Ted; today, you can take a tour. Newbury Street is the city’s hottest destination for shopping, equal parts posh and hip. Focused on the American Revolution, from the Colonial period to the War of 1812, The Freedom Trail (2) connects 16 historic sites, each of which has its own story. Visitors can walk the trail at any hour, but accessibility varies, with most open daily 9 am-5 pm. The North End (3) is awash in Italian heritage, and shows off dozens of restaurants, mom-and-pop shops and artisan food markets. Get a cannoli here.

Art, design and Victorian architecture may be hallmarks of the South End (1), but so is food.

Restaurants with culinary leanings from all over the world abound, so go here to eat Senegalese, French, Venezuelan and more. Visit two of Boston’s other “foodie” ‘hoods on Boston Food Tours’ focused gustatory adventures through Chinatown and the North End. Guides share the personal insights of the owner’s Asian and Italian food experiences. Boston Public Market (2) the Financial District’s go-to spot for lunch or afternoon ice cream/doughnut/insert your snack vice here. As for restaurants, Myers & Chang (3)is tops for contemporary takes on Far Eastern cuisine. Gluten-free, shellfish-free, nut-free or vegetarian? No worries, there are specific menus for you all.

This city bleeds green. And rightly so seeing as no professional organization has won more titles (17-time World Champs) than the Boston Celtics (1). Catch a game live at the TD Garden or head around the corner to one of Boston's greatest sports pubs. Locals love to hit up The Fours for a pre- or post-game brewskie and to admire the wall-to-wall sports memorabilia, from signed balls and bats to jerseys to photos, that decks the place. For a complete Boston sports experience, head to The Sports Museum (2) where this Garden-located, upper-level museum captures Boston’s rich history of athletics. Gals who get giddy for sports can capture a head-to-toe tomboy chic look at Lucy’s League (3) in Faneul Hall Marketplace.
