“This is really, truly a celebration of Boston’s cultural diversity. One of the greatest ways to get to know people and their culture is, certainly, through food”, says Colette Philipps, founder of Get Konnected! And A Taste of Ethnic Boston.

Phillips says there are so many “wonderful neighborhood restaurants, many of whom were impacted economically with the pandemic.”

She says A Taste of Ethnic Boston is a way to highlight neighborhoods and all the culinary gems and get people to try some of the best food around by going to places they might not normally think about.

The city of Boston wants all visitors to feel welcome, and all residents to feel included. The many multi-cultural experiences available in the city's neighborhoods help make that possible! Kwani Lunis lets you in on some of the coolest places you may not know about – but should-- in Jamaica Plain. It’s presented in partnership with All Inclusive Boston.
