Babushka Deli, Boston

Paying homage to the extensive Russian community in Boston and Brookline, this great delicatessen serves up some standard fare as well as a huge range of take-home Russian specialties like the usual borscht, black breads, sweet butter and meat dishes featuring beef, pork and lamb. The conversation is largely in Russian, with many ex-pats traveling across town to come here for their deli needs. A fascinating taste of foreign culture and great products as well.
