First and foremost, let’s talk about how amazing the Boston Public Library is.
It is nothing short of an absolute dream and the closest to heaven that I think I’ve ever been.
You too?
Good. Glad we got that off our chest.
But really, this is not a post about the Boston Public Library. Not today anyways.
This post is about bottomless glasses of prosecco.
And fancy finger foods.
And the 30 best up-and-coming foodies in Boston.
Perfect.

Tuesday night Rachael and I gathered for a night of fun at Zagat’s 30 Under 30 Party at the BPL. When R emailed me about the event I was instantly sold.
A night at the library in “cocktail party fancy attire?” HELLO. YES.
Celebrating delicious food and beverages? Take. me. there.
Plus, I just really like spending time with Rachael.
So Tuesday we celebrated the latest and greatest up-and-coming culinary geniuses in the Boston area. The night was meant to celebrate the 30 young (under 30) entrepreneurs, chefs, mixologists, and culinary artists, and they absolutely deserved to be recognized (meet the food stars here), but I’ve decided to share the places where you can get a taste of their work– their businesses! Restaurants, bars, food markets, and even a grilled cheese shop on wheels.
Here’s a list of the honoree’s businesses categorized by city and neighborhood:
Boston
Back Bay-
South End-
Kenmore Square-
Fenway-
Jamaica Plain-
Fort Point-
Downtown Crossing-
+
Cambridge
Formaggio Kitchen* (also in the South End)
Harvard Square-
Kendall Square-
+
Somerville
Inman Square
Trina’s Starlite Lounge and Parlor Spirits
Union Squre
Davis Square-
+
Watertown

WOW. What a list, right?
Kind of makes me giddy.
The links marked with an asterisk* are the ones that I myself have been to (and I can speak highly of all of them), but as you can see I have a lot of dining to do. Attending this event has got me all excited about the great food industry in Boston. My wallet might start to suffer soon, but my taste buds sure won’t.
Tell me, have you been to any of these places?
And if you’re not living in or around Boston, then what on earth are you waiting for? COME VISIT US!
Once again I am incredibly proud and inspired by this city. This night was just one of those nights where I fell more in love than ever.
Thanks for being awesome, Boston. You’re the best.
