Dear friends: Where should I eat? I am embarking on a student budget friendly road trip tomorrow from Burlington, ON to Halifax with stops in Albany, Boston, Portland, Bangor and Saint John, NB. The budget is probably $15 a meal or less (hopefully less) and just want good solid food on this trip.

Also, this being my first time to Boston and having a boyfriend with the last name Murphy, I feel the need to find a great pub there. Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks internets!
