Breakfast Near the Intercontinental Hotel

No, I don't usually stay at such a fancy hotel, but the price was too good to pass up.

Having said that, I definitely do not want to eat breakfast at the hotel--the price is over the top. Rather I am looking for a casual place on Sunday morning to have breakfast, not brunch. My son and I are walkers so any place within one mile would be acceptable.

    Dim Sum in Chinatown could be a fun experience for you and your sun.

      Mull's diner on East Broadway at the corner of A Street in South Boston. Very popular breakfast spot. Go out the rear door of the hotel and cross the Fort Point Channel by the Children's Museum and take a right. There is a walkway that runs along the side of the Channel and ends about two blocks from Mull's; there are some markers along the way that explain the impact of the big dig in the area and the history of Gillette. Total distance I would guess is about 1 mile. Depending on the time you get there you may have to wait for a table.

        Do you know if Mull's does a good corned beef hash? I love that dish and recently had a good 1 at L Street Diner.

        I regularly pass Mull's but haven't been for a while.

            9lives, I've had the cb hash at both diners. Both are decent options, but I would say that L Street's hash is better. I like my hash extra crispy and L Street nailed it. Generous portions as well. Enjoy!

          You could go to Flour for the amazing sticky buns (or pastries, quiche, egg and cheese sandwich etc). http://www.flourbakery.com/

            Anthony's Cafe is a good breakfast place..252 Commercial St. take a right out of your hotel and walk about 10 mins. Atlantic Ave turns into Commercial.
