The Cannoli Battle of Boston

The North End of Boston is famous for its cannoli, but which one has the BEST (according to me)?\. There’s an ongoing debate among Boston locals and tourists alike: who has the best cannoli in Boston? Mike’s Pastry? Modern Pastry? Bova’s Bakery? As a native of the greater Boston area, I’ve been to all three bakeries too many times to count! As a kid, I never really thought to compare all three bakeries in respect to one popular dessert—the cannoli. Today, I’ll break down each bakery’s cannolis based on creativity of flavors, presentation and, of course, taste.

Hannah’s Brewing Co. is Melrose’s First Brewery and Taproom

For years, Melrose was a "dry" city. That ended in 1973. Fifty years later, the city finally has its first taproom in Hannah's Brewing Co. Hannah's sits at the tail end of the stretch of Main Street making up downtown Melrose. Nestled in next to Melrose MA TV, a block up and over from the Wyoming Hill stop on the Commuter Rail, the brewery sits in a cozy little nook behind a patio abutting the sidewalk. That patio is the place to be in warm weather, nursing a pint as foot traffic makes its way up and down Wyoming Hill. Even with the hustle and bustle of downtown a block away, Hannah's has a comfortable neighborhood vibe.

East Providence to East Cambridge, whitefish and bluefish on deep yellow, eggy bagels

The opening of Rebelle Artisan Bagels in 2024 on the Kendall Square/East Cambridge line was something of a homecoming for owner and James Beard-nominated chef Milena Pagán, who moved to Cambridge from Puerto Rico to attend MIT. After graduating with a degree in chemical engineering, Pagán moved to Providence for a corporate job that was not for her, so she taught herself to bake, starting with “bagel experiments.” Those trial-and-errors were good enough for her initial bagel shop in East Providence in 2016, which earned Pagán that Beard nod. (Pagán recently announced she’ll close Little Sister, her Puerto Rican cafe in Providence.)
