Boston Cheap Food
Boston is known as the Athens of America due to being the home of a large number of colleges and universities, and with college students aplenty, Boston cheap food is not only welcome but also encouraged.

The former include Audubon Circle in Beacon Street; Red Hat in 9 Bowdoin Street; Mr. Bartley's Burger Cottage in Mass.

Anthony's in 1016 Commonwealth Avenue; and Woody's Grill and Tap in 58 Hemenway Street.For more exotic tastes, there are Middle Eastern restaurants such as Shawarma King, Aceituna Cafe and Cafe Jaffa, Mexican restaurants like Anna's Taqueria and Border Cafe; and Asian restaurants the likes of Le's, Qingdao Garden, Shanghai Gate, India Quality, Passage to India, and Dok Bua. Besides offering an alternative to more traditional restaurants, these establishments are well known for being a source of Boston cheap food. Now, for more conservative inclinations, there are American restaurants (John Harvard's Brew House, Sunset Grill and Tap, Paramount), Barbecue houses (Redbones BBQ), Italian food (Carlo's Cucina), and sandwich shops (Cafe Amsterdam).
