In the neighborhood, more drinks: Canada Dry bottled ginger ale down the block; the nearby nexus of Jamaica Plain and Roxbury was once home to many breweries. So it’s fitting that legacy continues with the opening of New England’s only soju distillery, Namu Distilling Company, which you can read about here: https://bit.ly/4hsoxM1

Fun fact about JFK: He loved soup. Like any good New Englander, the Brookline-born politician was particularly enthusiastic about chowder—but not clam. His chowder of choice featured haddock, with salt pork, potatoes, and celery adding flavor and texture. He was also known to regularly enjoy lobster stew while sitting in his favorite booth at Boston’s still-operating Union Oyster House.
