Mike’s or Modern if you want the full tourist cannoli experience. Quincy Market has so many different kinds of food, especially if you have hearty eating boys.

You could stop and have Boston Cream Pie at the Omni Parkerhouse Hotel if you want dessert.

100%

Who the h*ll are these people suggesting frickin' chains like dunkin and Tatte that you can get anywhere? lol

The food is so much better up north. Branch out.

You know not everybody has Tatte near them. Also, truthfully in Boston the only places worth getting breakfast (not sure why) are Friend Toast and Tatte.

Sometimes you are in a hurry and Tatte is the best option.

We also enjoyed light breakfast and coffee at the Thinking Cup.

I was going to suggest Eataly too. It’s in the Prudential center just across from Copley. They have several restaurants plus gelato and other fun deserts. Definitely check it out at least once.

Will you have a car? If so and if you have a break before or after BC, I would drive to Newton Center. Tons of restaurants there.

Cambridge (I know you didn't mention this but...) Felipe's Taqueria

Near your hotel: Earls... I know it's a chain BFD people love it.

Breakfast - The Friendly Toast.

You should get a meal in the Northend... I don't have a recommendation so many great places.

If you are gonna get Mike's cannoli get them in Cambridge, the North End always has a line.

Not “ Felipe's Taqueria”. I live outside of Boston and went to this place the other day. It gets so many good reviews but it’s pretty bad. Victoria tacqueria is so much better but not really confinement to the schools you are visiting.

Not near any schools but fabulous- Sarma

Sarma is amazing. Hard to get reservations but they do take walk ins and if you get right when it opens you should be ok. Probably the best restaurant I’ve been too ever.

Our family loves Anna's Taqueria and Pinocchio's Pizza.

You really should get a meal at Anna's if your kid is considering BU or BC.
Cornwalls near Fenway
Pick any place in Little Italy for the experience

+1 Anna’s Taqueria

If you’re in Copley, go to Pressed Cafe, their breakfast and their goat cheese BLT (lunch) is amazing.

If you have time, there are tons of places in Cambridge by MIT
