Massachusetts Locals Get Their Fried Clams at This Little Walk-Up Shack Right on the Water
A seagull once snatched a gourmet lobster roll right out of a customer’s hands at this seafood window. The owner saw it happen and simply handed over a fresh one. That story alone made me want to go.

Following Months of Uncertainty, Boloco Plans Return to Former Boston Location
After months of uncertainty surrounding its last remaining location, Boloco may have found a new home in downtown Boston.

Although the original closure timeline called for a September departure, developers at Mahoney Development Group granted Boloco a three-week extension to give the team more time to plan its next move. That extension has since stretched further, allowing the restaurant to remain open while the team works to secure its next location.
