Manhattan: 271 W 23rd St @ 8th Ave (visited) & 885 10th Ave @ 58th St
Several locations in Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island
Boston Market, with only two locations, is extremely rare in Manhattan. The location I visited was directly outside the
23rd Street Station of the
8th Avenue Subway (
C,
E).
For
Manhattan fast food restaurants, this Boston Market was extremely
clean, far more than I had expected. The presentation of the main
dishes and sides was extremely appetizing. Granted, calling Boston
Market fast food is almost an insult. It, along with chains such as
Panara Bread, are positioned somewhere between that class and casual
dining.

Boston Market, like many other chains,
has recently lowered its prices,
with many lunches and dinners now costing around five dollars. For a
mere $5.23 (including tax), I received half a chicken sandwich, a
decent serving of stuffing, and a medium beverage (free refills).
However, a friend of mine, an experienced Boston Market guest, did note
that the serving size has decreased over the years. Nevertheless, my
lunch cost me a good three dollars less than I expected.

Boston
Market also provides catering. This card on the table provided for some
good laughs. Note the primary upsell item of the different packages is
the level of dinnerware included. The Silver Package comes with
disposable dinnerware, the Gold Package comes with "upgraded disposable
dinnerware", while the Platinum Package comes with china. That's right,
you can have your Boston Market on China!
