Food Culture of Massachusetts
With colonial history, Cape Cod beaches, and Berkshire mountain towns, Massachusetts draws travelers seeking both heritage and coastal beauty. The Atlantic waters mean Wellfleet oysters that taste like the sea, lobster rolls on buttered buns, fried clams at every beach shack, and the chocolate chip cookie invented at a Whitman inn in 1938. Discover the public markets, Portuguese bakeries, and harborside fish markets that feed this storied commonwealth.
