GREATER BOSTON FOOD & DRINK TOURS

UP AND ADAM FOOD TOURS

"Life is too short for bad food and bad wine." - Dave Leff

MEET ADAM

Hi everyone, I'm Adam! Welcome to my tour page. Union Square, Somerville is my home. I fell in love with this area because of its walkability, historical significance, and cultural diversity. After getting to intimately know the area, I'm proud to present three different food and drink tours in the neighborhood! We're going to try several of my go-to dishes, drinks, and neighborhood spots. Please join me and see what makes Union Square so special. 


Just a short train ride or drive from the North End and nestled between Harvard and MIT, visiting Union Square is a perfect opportunity to do something new and unique while checking out some excellent vendors.


I'll also be running a North End Pastry Tour. As such an important neighborhood to Boston's formation and ongoing evolution, this tour is an excellent opportunity to satisfy your sweet tooth and learn some essential Boston history.


Whether you're visiting the Boston area, new in town, or a local trying to find something fun to do, there's something for everyone while we're Up and Adam.
