Annette Jones+FollowBoston’s Fenway food hall shutters soonTime Out Market in Fenway, once a buzzing spot for food lovers, is closing its doors after less than seven years. Despite bringing together some of Boston’s favorite eats under one roof, the hall struggled with inconsistent crowds and rising costs, especially as hybrid work keeps the area quieter than before. It’s not just Time Out—other local favorites like REI, Uno Pizzeria, and the Dugout Cafe have also closed recently. Is this a sign of bigger changes for Boston’s dining scene, or just a rough patch? Share your thoughts and favorite memories from these spots! #Food #BostonEats #Fenway00Share
Valerie Hall+FollowWhy Regina Pizzeria is Boston’s pizza iconRegina Pizzeria’s original North End spot is turning 100, and it’s still the go-to for a true Boston pizza experience. The vibe inside is pure old-school—think crowded booths, walls packed with photos, and the constant buzz of locals and tourists alike. The pizza? Always top-notch, whether you’re into classic cheese, pepperoni, or their loaded Giambotta. Sure, you can grab a slice at one of their other locations, but nothing beats the Thacher Street original. If you’ve been, what’s your favorite order? And if you haven’t, is it really a Boston bucket list without it? #Food #BostonEats #ReginaPizzeria00Share

Michael Morgan+FollowBoston’s deep-dish pizza chains disappearingChain deep-dish pizza spots are vanishing across the Boston area, leaving just a few hard-to-find locations hanging on. The Medford outpost, for example, is tucked away off Route 16 and barely gets any foot traffic. Some locals remember grabbing a quick, filling meal before a concert or trivia night, but now it’s tough to find any open locations. Even store locators and Google Maps can’t keep up—most listed spots are permanently closed. Is this the end of an era for chain deep-dish in Boston? What’s your go-to pizza place now? #Food #BostonEats #PizzaTalk00Share
