Slow down with a South End picnic

We are all for keeping it quaint and having an old-fashioned picnic. We suggest you enjoy life’s simple pleasures in the South End, starting with a stop at Formaggio Kitchen’s Shawmut Ave storefront to stock up on the finest snacks. Grab a selection of the shop’s imported cheeses and cured meats, house-made charcuterie and artisanal bread or, for a heftier blanket spread, get some of the kitchen’s daily sandwiches and prepared salads to go. Bring your gourmet haul back to your stoop or to a nearby greenspace, like Titus Sparrow Park, where you can eat while enjoying the perfect view of The Pru set behind Boston’s beautiful brownstones.
