Exploring Massachusetts: Beyond Boston’s Culinary Delights

I admit, I sometimes forget there is more to Massachusetts than Bean Town! Which we love…chock full of history, Cheers, and more. My favorite “big city” and it’s in Layla’s top 5. There’s nothing quite like walking the Freedom Trail or catching a game at Fenway. But Massachusetts has so much more to offer beyond Boston. From charming coastal towns to hidden gems inland, this state is bursting with culinary delights and adventures waiting to be discovered. Lucky for us, Guy has explored every nook and cranny, and I can’t wait to indulge in all the mouth-watering dishes he’s uncovered.
