I suggest Antonio's in New Bedford. It's regarded as some of the best Portuguese food in the country. But the long and short of it is that if you show up in areas with lots of restaurants (right outside of colleges and/or popular T stops- ie Harvard Square, Chinatown) most restaurants have to be good to stay open.

I love the flowering thyme, too. Need to pick up more this weekend. Anita - Thank you! I can't believe your season is over already. I need to eat more asparagus while we've still got it!

Any suggestions for non-touristy food experiences? Ethnic? Cheap? Typical Boston? Know a good Portuguese restaurant? I’m going to be in Boston for a long July 4th weekend (first time visit).
