#1 - Legal Seafoods in Boston, MA


I'll be honest - i was kinda kinda shocked that this spot actually made the list of the "Top 1,000 Places You Must Visit Before You Die" and wondered how this place was even included to begin with - mainly because i've been to Legal Seafoods before and didn't expect this particular restaurant to make the list. 

In January, i traveled for work once again... this time to Boston!  Despite not having time to do anything leisurely the entire time i was there (one of the downfalls of traveling for work), i did find myself free for an hour and a half after the conference ended and before i had to head to the airport.  So i thought i would go ahead and have a late lunch at Legal Seafoods.  Heading to the restaurant, I still couldn't comprehend how it made the list.  The restaurant is literally in the middle of a shopping mall.  Anyhow, found a spot at the bar and grabbed a seat.

After ordering oysters for an appetizer, i realized why this spot made the list.  HOLY YUM!  the food was spectacularly delicious.  I started off with oysters which were so fresh and yummy.  With Boston being so close to the water, the seafood is incredibly fresh.  for my main entree, i got the scallop and mushroom ravioli - oh my!  i had the same meal a few weeks ago when i went to the local Legal Seafood, and it definitely wasn't as fresh (or as cheap!).  check out the yummies below:
