Hearty breakfasts
One of the perks visiting in the States, at least for me, is having a good hearty American breakfast in a diner favoured by locals. Once a visit is just enough, tough.

In Boston, we were recommended to visit Paramount Deli on Charles Street. We walked all the way from Cambridge in pouring rain, and fortunately found out that the walk was not in vain. The deli is not huge, a few dozen people fit in. The service was friendly and pretty fast. The ambience is hectic, especially when ordering your portion, until you sit down to the table with the food.
All the items were done well and there was plenty of food, at least from an European perspective. And it was tasty. We were party of six, so we tried a lot of different things. Especially the pancakes were excellent. And the juice.
The place was not the cheapest, but I didn’t have feeling of being ripped off, either.
