Taste This Tours

-Belle Isle Seafood
-El Paisa
-Angela's Café
-Rincon Limeno
-Rino's
-Rosticeria Cancun

Question - What do the places on this list have in common?

Answer - They're all restaurants located in East Boston that I've been wanting to try, and that I have yet to try.

Actually, the only times I've found myself out in East Boston has been for visits to Logan Airport, that is, until this past Memorial Day weekend! On Saturday, I took the Eastie Eats Tour with the newly inaugurated Taste This Tours, which happened to combine a few of my favorite things - walking, eating, photo taking, all bundled into the opportunity to experience a new (to me) neighborhood!

Our journey began after our 1pm meet up with a pleasant water taxi ride to East Boston, and was followed soon after with the very first taste of the tour, hand delivered by Laura, our tour guide - donuts from Betty Ann's.



Some cool sights along the way...



The various food stops:



Unfortunately, Dough's was closed that day, but Laura had forewarned us of this, and gave us the option of rescheduling, which we declined.



With the last stop to go, a light rain began falling. But that did not dampen our spirits!



Our intrepid and well-prepared tour guide Laura!
By the end of our afternoon's adventures, we were satiated both in tummy and in mind, and astonished to realize that we had covered 5 miles, because it sure didn't feel like it!

If you are looking for something to do, or some new way to entertain some out of town guests, Taste This Tours is a very good option! Check out their Facebook page or their Twitter page to see if there's an active discount.
