Before You Hit the Road
Flour Bakery and Cafe
Joanne Chang changed Boston breakfast. The South End original is the pilgrimage. Sticky buns that GQ called the best pastry in America. Egg sandwich on house bread is the move.

Lunch Stop · I-84 W, Exit 60, Main St Manchester
Midway Fuel-Up
Shady Glen
Manchester, CT since 1948. The cheeseburger here — with cheese curled and crisped over the edges of the patty — is one of the great regional American burgers. Worth the 10-minute detour off I-84.

Cornelia Molasses Explosion Memorial
On January 15, 1919, a 2.3 million-gallon molasses tank burst in Boston's North End, flooding streets at 35 mph. Twenty-one people died. A small plaque marks the site. Locals say you can still smell it on a hot summer day.
