Massachusetts Eatery Makes New York Times’ Top 50 List
Massachusetts made the cut.
The New York Times has just revealed its 50 favorite restaurants in America for 2024, and guess what? Massachusetts is included in the very coveted list.
Somaek, a cozy spot tucked away in Boston’s Downtown Crossing, snagged a spot on the prestigious list.
The Times raved about its Korean home cooking, calling it a must-try for lovers of bold, traditional flavors.
Somaek’s chilled pork belly, seared beef, and stir-fried squid with rice cakes were big hits. But the real magic? The banchan.
Think chive-garlic salad, radish kimchi, and pickled perilla leaves—side dishes that are like little flavor bombs.
Somaek isn’t just about food either. The restaurant also shines with its impressive Korean spirits menu, featuring soju, makgeolli, and yakju. It’s the perfect place to unwind and explore new flavors.
And Massachusetts is known for its excellent and innovative cuisine.
Located at 11 Temple Place, Somaek boasts an impressive 4.6-star rating on Google. So if you’re around Boston Common, you might want to drop in for a meal that’s both authentic and unforgettable.
And if you’re craving even more culinary adventures, Massachusetts is home to other award-winning restaurants too.
Ever heard of Uni in Boston? It’s known for its fantastic sushi. Or maybe O Ya, another Boston gem, which consistently wows with its inventive Japanese dishes. For those with a taste for Italian, check out SRV, also in Boston, for Venetian-inspired bites.
So whether you’re a foodie or just love good eats, Somaek is definitely the place to try.
