Best of Boston

1996 Best Grocery Store, Gourmet

Savenor’s

Long known for its exotic meats (this is the place to go for lion and bear), it’s also the best place for pork. Try the home-smoked bacon and ham, and while you’re there, pick up some bread from Iggy’s, a cake or pie from Creative Gourmet, or some fresh pasta.
