La Jolla Gets a 'Bite' of The East Coast

Boston: the word itself brings to mind a myriad of images and sensations. The Boston Tea Party, Colonial America, a major financial center, fine art, and amazing food are some of things people associate with the city of Boston. A little bit of it, the food to be exact, has found it’s way to the west coast, and imbedded itself in San Diego. Bite of Boston, is a family owned submarine shop serving traditional New England fare. They first opened shop in Rancho Bernardo, and have more recently opened a branch in La Jolla, University City, a few months ago.

Bite of Boston serves all of their sandwiches on New England breads and rolls. They’re made in Massachusetts and shipped to San Diego specifically for Robert Major, the owner of Bite of Boston. Along with all natural, Philadelphia cold cuts and meats, the shop also offers mouthwatering chowders and soups. A specialty of the shop is the Lobster Roll. Twice a week, 200 pounds of fresh lobster is flown in from Maine for these signature sandwiches. Giant lumps of lobster meat are mixes with spices, celery, and mayonnaise and served on a buttered and grilled roll. They are to die for. Pair that with a cup of steaming New England style clam chowder and you would think you had magically been sent to the East Coast for lunch.

Before heading to University City for a delicious Bite of Boston meal, work up your appetite by visiting Thumbprint Gallery, on Kline Street, which is also in La Jolla. The La Jolla art gallery showcases local contemporary urban and lowbrow artists and is open Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 12-4pm.
