Budget Travel to Boston: Cheap Eats - By: Evvie Meier

Planning a low budget trip to Boston? Much of Boston’s New England charm can be appreciated just by strolling through the city streets. Luckily, you don’t have to break the bank for a satisfying meal. Boston is home to tons of colleges and universities, which bring with them a slew of cheap Boston restaurant options to appease the broke students. Take advantage of Boston’s cheap food by heading to one of these low price yet delicious eateries.

Galleria Umberto, North End
Galleria Umberto is easy to miss – it’s inconspicuously lodged between trendier Boston eateries – but a slice of pizza here is both cheap and delicious. For less than $3 grab a piece of Sicilian pizza and a soda, and be sure to try Umberto’s acclaimed arancini, a jumbo friend rice ball that wins rave reviews. Galleria Umberto’s is only opened for lunch and the line starts winding well before noon. This cheap Boston eatery is worth the wait.

Blue Ribbon BBQ, Arlington and Newton
Blue Ribbon is a tasty and cheap way to grab a hearty meal in Boston. Portions are extremely generous, especially given that sandwiches are a mere $7 and platters are just $11. This Boston BBQ joint’s popularity has its downside – seating can be limited. For BBQ-lovers on a budget, Blue Ribbon hits the spot.

Chacarero, Downtown Crossing
Chacarero offers many variations on one item, the Chacarero sandwich, a traditional Chilean staple that includes your choice of meat on homemade bread, cheese, tomatoes, avocado, and surprisingly tasty green beans. This cheap Boston restaurant is simple and unpretentious, but the meal is consistently satisfying and fairly filling. See what all the buzz is about and head to Chacarero on your budget trip to Boston.

Pigalle, Charles Street
For those trying to eat cheap in Boston but still looking for a more upscale venue, Pigalle’s bar menu may be the perfect solution. This romantic, critically acclaimed French restaurant has pricier items, but sampling from the bar menu offers visitors delectable tastes of Pigalle’s specialties at surprisingly reasonable prices. Try the “chef’s selection” of savory bites, or splurge on an entrée, still for under $20 a plate.
