Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 28/03/2026You might consider complaining to someone who has never lived in Boston, doesn’t spend a considerable amount of time covering the city, and who doesn’t pay Boston property taxes. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Further, in disputing my claim that most Bostonians drive, you… conceded that you, too, use a car in an area that I assume is not within central Boston, only confirming my data-backed point, so I have no idea what you’re complaining about. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 28/03/2026The two issues you took with my piece were both empirically wrong. You accused me of not name-checking every single type of food (why would I?); and you seem to think you’re an expert on the transit system based on anecdote over fact, neither of which interest me as a reporter. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 28/03/2026It’s not “your city.” I’m from Massachusetts—25 miles outside of Boston. I lived in Boston for many years and still own a residence in Boston. I went to graduate school in Boston and have covered this beat for years. Sit down. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 28/03/2026I think you *might* be missing the point made by my article. I’m not claiming that anyone drives into downtown Boston. I didn’t, either, when I lived in the city—but I drove from one area to another. You seem really mad about this piece. You might want sit with that. 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Fried clams are soft. Chowder clams can be a combination. Littlenecks are more common on the NS and are not quahogs. 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Let’s assume you live in Seaport (why, idk) and want to go to Quincy to eat. That’s a very difficult transit barrier, that’s racially constructed and made worse if you have no vehicle. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Oh that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying that if your goal is to get to these other areas of the city, you need a car! That the walkability of Boston that people claim is actually very limited—not to mention the brokenness of the MBTA. 000
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/202666 percent of Boston households do, though, so I wasn’t writing that anecdotally, just so you know. 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Also, 66 percent of Boston households own a car. 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I had a car when I lived in Boston, too, and so do many of my friends. Boston has an unusual resident parking setup for a tightly packed urban area. 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026JP is now a majority-white neighborhood due to gentrification, I’ll note. It did not used to be. Whether most neighborhoods offer diverse cuisine isn’t actually the point I’m making here, however. 010
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 27/03/2026I did not mention every food, no. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. 000

Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 24/10/2025The Clam Box for sure (Ipswich). Probably Zeno’s (Ipswich), though I do think everyone should go down Revere Beach for a Kelly’s original at least once. I know everyone will say Modern Butcher (or probably Londi’s), but MB only serves on Saturdays and there’s always a line. 010
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 24/10/2025You definitely shouldn’t eat soft shell clams outside of Ipswich (or Essex, I’ll throw that out here). I agree with you there! 100
Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 24/10/2025Don’t you friggin dare, kehd. First of all, I try never to be honest with myself. Second of all, it’s regional for a reason. I don’t go to East Boston to eat a three-way. Pizza? Sure. Fried clams or supah beef? Yah outta yah damn mind. 210

Hannah Selinger @hannahselinger.bsky.social · 23/10/2025Truth. Three-way or nothing, and no, you can’t get it in Boston. North Shore or bust. 010
