There are many things I love about Boston: the loyal sports fans (go Bruins!), the city's walkability, the burgeoning food truck scene... the list goes on and on. But if I had to choose just one thing I like the least, it’s the fact that drink happy hours are illegal in Massachusetts. Yeah, yeah, I know it does no good to complain, but those of you who have experienced the glory of happy hour in other states will agree that Bostonians are really missing out here. I mean, once you’ve seen the wonder of $1 well drink night (yes, it exists!), it’s hard to go back.

But even if we don’t have drink happy hours, Bostonians can at least take solace in the fact that we do have food happy hours, and lots of them, especially in Back Bay. And so, for your post-work pleasure, a list of Back Bay's best food happy hours:
