Help!
I've been living in the city for a few months now full time, and I can't seem to find any place that serves "Boston baked beans" - or even the normie "baked beans". Can I have some help in identifying some places, so I can try them out - if there are any? According to MentalFloss, there are a few different stories in which Beantown came to be.
Hasn't really been a thing in Boston in a very long time, but the Union Oyster House has a side dish of baked beans. The last place to really serve them was Durgin-Park, but that closed in 2019 after being open for almost 200 years.
Also, be aware that calling Boston "beantown" is becoming a local faux pas. The only acceptable bean reference I can think of is the Beanpot college hockey tournament.
As a sidenote, the link you attached has a bunch of theories that are probably incorrect, given that the Boston National League baseball team was called the Beaneaters as early as 1883.
Excuse me there tourist, you must not be familiar with the port city of Boston. Nobody here says Beantown. Please enjoy this documentary about our diverse aquatic life.

fr did I just make a dumb post
No. The automod is just sentient and like to make jokes.
I don't know any place that serves beans, so I was just staying silent.
The automod is like the shithead in your friend group that makes really bad jokes, nobody laughs, then tells people to "lighten up".
A little, but it’s adorable. The brand is B&M and you eat them with boiled hot dogs, on a TV tray, in your jammies. If you want more just scream “Ma! Ahe thehe any mohe beans?”
Yes lmao
Make yourself an old fashion Boston franks, beans and brown bread with lots of mustard. It was like a freaking mandatory meal at one time when you were a little kid.

The Fours still serves homemade baked beans as a side. Boston location closed but Quincy location is open.
Also located & doing well in Norwell
Your best bet now that Durgin Park (tourist trap) is gone would probably be to catch a church "bean supper" - I'm sure somewhere on the South Shore will still have them.
It will be dirt cheap and you'll be the youngest person there by 50 years.
I haven’t heard someone say beantown unironically since like 2002 and even then I thought it was weird

Glad we agree
George's Coney Island in Worcester makes their own baked beans, I believe.
Beantown Pub has it on their menu as an appetizer.

Boston baked beans are a traditional Yankee poor peasant food--you won't find them in a restaurant.
Here is a good recipe, similar to how my mom makes them.
If you want to be extra authentic, make some brown bread to go with.
Give it the beans James!
Look in tourist traps.
KFC Beans are better, anyway.
We all figured out that Boston baked beans are kinda gross and no longer make them.

Go to the grocery, buy a can of B&M. Get a can of bread while you’re at it.
That’s just about as “authentic” as it gets.
