Picnic Guide: Boston Common

Something strange is happening here. Trees are turning greener by the day, magnolias are already shedding their blossoms, and flowers are in bloom (and not just the forsythia - tulips). What is this? It’s spring, even for us! Welcome to picnic season in Boston! And where better to go than the Common, where you can see the skyline up close while listening to the sounds of the local tee-ball league? Here’s where we recommend you pick up some nosh.

•Nearby Sam La Grassa’s offers a wide array of truly delectable sandwiches. The “fresh from the pot” corned beef sandwich is the best we have ever had, and pickles that are a color normally found in nature are refreshing and crisp.
b.good offers some of the tastiest burgers this side of the river. Vegetarian? There are two bean-based veggie burgers to choose from - white and black.
•Need something healthier than a sandwich? Take advantage of the Souper Salad on Berkeley St. and pick your favorites from their extensive salad bar.
