Boston has better food than your average city. It's a relatively rich city, which helps. More importantly, it has something like 40 universities in and around that area, and many of them cater to international students. So, you get all kinds of interesting ethnic foods from around the world. Boston also has a small Chinatown, but it has great food. It also has a lot of Brazilian immigrants, so it has restaurants catering to Brazilians.

Some of my favourites:

• Muqueca is Brazilian, but not typical exported Brazilian like meat on swords.
• Peach Farm Seafood in Chinatown
• Penang Malaysian Cuisine in Chinatown
