Why you should go…

Sam Adams rallied revolutionaries in this 1742 hall; today the surrounding marketplace and colonnaded Quincy Market buzz with dozens of food stalls, pushcart vendors, and street performers. Grab a bread bowl of clam chowder or a lobster roll and eat under the rotunda like generations of visitors before you. Free to wander, dangerous for your appetite.
