Editorial Review for Faneuil Hall Marketplace – by Citysearch Staff
Overview
The three long market buildings, which combine to make what is usually referred to as Quincy Market, are a top destination for Bostonians and tourists alike. You'll find some major national chains like Ann Taylor, Abercrombie & Fitch, Crabtree & Evelyn, Crate & Barrel and Victoria's Secret, as well as local gems like Celtic Weavers and Geoclassic.
Features
The actual Quincy Market building (the central market hall across from Faneuil Hall) is devoted primarily to food, with a range of cuisines to satisfy everyone's tastes. The North and South Market buildings house an array of clothing stores, gift shops and just about every other kind of retailer. A broad band of entertainers roams between the buildings, and still more merchants sell their wares from more than 55 pushcarts.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoCome summertime, note that the popular, packed food hall is not any air-conditioned; when the mercury is rising, bring your food outside and hope for a breeze.

My husband and I nearly stumbled upon the marketplace, after visiting the New England Aquarium nearby - yes we were tourists visiting the city. There are so many dining options, all at pretty reasonable prices. We got food from the Boston and Maine Co. - I had a chicken wrap with clam chowder - the wrap was a little heavy on the lettuce, but not bad; the chowder was the highlight - very tasty, with the right amount of salt and seasoning - DELICIOUS! This chowder beats the socks off the chowder at Legal Sea Foods (which I also tried while in Boston). My husband had the chili and buffalo chicken wrap and he said both were tasty. We walked a bit to North End and got dessert from a little italian bakery (not sure of the name) and then brought it back to the marketplace and had it with nice hot Starbucks. Great place; its a must see!
Pros: Lots of choices, price is good
Cons: Very busy, might be hard to find seating if you have a big group

A cartoon version of Boston's past, tidied up, prettified, and made palatable for tourists so that they needn't take the time to explore the real city. Locals avoid this place like the plague.
