ardy Bostonians know that winter is when you sharpen up your skis (and shovel), stock up on ice melt, and eat. And winter around here lasts a long, long time. Hey, it snowed 22 inches in April in Boston in 1996, more than 19 inches in 2000, and more than a foot in 1981. All of which means there are a lot of opportunities to fortify yourself with comfort food you may have not known where to find:
1
Start with breakfast at a place where you’ll leave full enough to face the day.
2
Still hungry? How about a lunch of gooey mac ‘n’ cheese in all types of flavors, from barbecued chicken to Boston seafood—in the last place you’d expect to find it.
3
Waffles and fried chicken and other southern-inspired comfort fare
4
A not-to-be-missed, sinful combination of golden Belgian waffles, sweet strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream
5
A brunch in the ‘burbs with waffles and wings
6
A cozy trattoria with wood-fired Spanish and Italian food, sure to warm your soul as much as its hearty paella will

Enjoy a soulful meal—Jamaican jerk chicken, mac’n’ cheese—in a setting as giving as the food.

Find your way after work to a retro basement bar in the Financial District with a buttered breadcrumb topping on its hearty mac ‘n’ cheese.

Yet more mac ‘n’ cheese, with great craft beers to wash it down.

A weird soul-food staple that you have to try.
