She would have had more money if she opted out of the bread bowl or the lobster roll. Too filling for both at the same time.

Every culinary channel does Massachusetts WRONG.
Super Beef, 3-way, on an onion roll.
That’s Massachusetts.
How do you get a beer and hot dog at a BALLPARK and then rate Boston based on its affordability? Who sponsors this garbage?
I see,food is really cheap at Boston
As a Bostonian… I love Boston, but it's soooo expensive here!
sugar cheese and carb .. that's America's food for you
What restaurant did the bread bowl come here?
I would definitely eat the lobster 🦞 roll, and a cannoli because I’ve never had either.
Having come from a few "Bostonians" who relocated to the Midwest some 60 years ago, the one thing I do know is Boston prices are out of its ass.
Hookers and cocaine
Clams with the bellies. I miss that.
10.50 for 1 cup of beer? Jeez
Boston is famous for Harvard Companions at everyday rate。
Smart Lovers， Intelligent Conversations。
I Prefer Someone With No Background in Politics。 I Wish For Intelligent Dialogues on Some Other Topics。

To really enjoy Boston you need to be ready to spend at least $1,000 /day
No one in their right mind would go and spend 10.50 on beer. Also… if you are truly on a 50 dollar budget, you would not go to a baseball game.
Wicked smaaaaaht 🤣🤣🤣
best italian place in the north end?
$50? Rachel Ray used to do $30 a day. Step up yo game gurl!
Fish and chips on Castle Island. Beautiful and tasty.
Dear lord don't hold your $50 bill out in the open like that 🤦
-Sincerely a Bostonian
Lobster Rolls aren't cheap! And you didn't go to any of the real neighborhoods. Bova is way better than Mike's and Modern. Fenway isn't affordable
the best thing you can do is ask a local to help you, I barely go to Boston but luckily my cousins are native Bostonians so I get all the good spots that don't destroy my wallet
Terrible host.
….yes, but how did you get the ticket to Fenway with your $50
Bova's has the better cannoli
I work in the area, and she got the worst lobster roll over there at Boston and Maine Fish company. The clam Chowder from the Boston Chowder is delicious.
How to spend $50 on 3 “FOOD” in Boston oh wait sorry I gotta pay rent next time maybe 🤔
Beer ain't worth 10.75$ man… come on
lobster roll, chowder, cannoli are maybe quintessential new england experience so I'm ok with that; but, the beer and hotdog was the most unnecessary food purchase
Money
If she bought a couple of beers she would have been broke.
Bova's is so much better than Mike's pastry.
They got a Samuel Addams Bar at Faneuil Hall now. Looking forward to this summer when things go back to normal hopefully.
Bova Bakery on Salem St. has the best cannoli. Mikes aren't as fresh, they are pre made and sitting in the displays getting soggy. Should have gone to Regina's whilst in the North End to have authentic Italian and the best pizza from the oldest pizzeria in the U.S. And maybe just A lobster roll OR a giant bowl of chowder. And to have tried an appetizer of oysters at Union Oyster House with a Sam Adams at a reasonable price. Seems you were a bit spendthrift-y with your $50 That's my 2 cents' worth.
Ur on a budget yet you went to Quincy Market? You made a mistake by doing that because u literally just went to one of the biggest tourist place in Boston
she really went to quincy market to get true boston food lmao
Boston has amazing pasta too
This was so sad. I'm sorry but it was. No time was taken out to find good food for a reasonable price. Smh 🤨
$50 won't get you far at Quincy market
You should have gone to the Union Oyster House and had a lobster dinner
