Central Atrium of Quincy Market
Quincy Market was part of a list of must visit places here in Boston. Although I didn’t really specifically planned on visiting the place and somehow ended up going to a place which apparently was near Quincy Market. I like how walkable the city of Boston is and I think that is how I managed to find my way here without even meaning to. It looks like it is much more lively here this area. I know it is near the waterfront and there are usually a lot of establishments near the waterfront. Quincy Market isn’t really right by the water but it probably doesn’t matter. What matters is what is inside the building.
Dome at Quincy Market
I thought that Quincy Market was just a market place, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that is actually a long foot court. There are numerous stalls here which line both sides of the long building. Of course, there are Boston favorites most significantly, lobster sandwich. I thought it was too early for me to have dinner and I didn’t want to spoil it by having dinner here. I held back and just continued walking. At the center of the long building is an atrium which has a dome above it. The dome seems to be a popular feature of old buildings here in the city. Curiously, the dome is elliptical and not circular. I don’t think I have seen something like that before. Around the atrium, I can see that there is a second floor here and there are seats. I didn’t intend to eat here so I just kept walking. Ultimately, this is probably the largest concentration of food stalls that I have seen in the city. It is a great place to go to if you want a cheap and quick bite to eat here in the city. This is even better if there are a lot of you, there will be more choices for everyone.
