Skipjacks, near Newbury St has the best clam chowder, my daughter and I make their recipe at home. In the Fanuiel Hall area, there is the Union Oyster Bar, and both my daughter's love Mings Blue Ginger which I think is in Cambridge. Durgan Park is the oldest restaurant in the US, supposedly, and they are famous for their "family style" service and their roast beef in the upstairs dining room. Love Boston!!!
