Introduction

Quincy Market is the heart of Boston's Faneuil Hall Marketplace, completed in 1826 by Alexander Parris—long granite stalls under Roman Revival façades forming the harbour city's liveliest food and public living room. Hundreds of stalls serve New England clam chowder, lobster rolls and global bites, with street performers weaving through. For a meal or the city's everyday buzz, it is an unmissable stop on an old-town walk.
