The Project

A tasteful surprise on every corner of our neighborhood. 
“Tasteful Boston,” is an outdoor public art installation in which a dozen regional artists transform 12 Downtown Boston area utility boxes into striking works of art that celebrate iconic elements of the city’s storied culinary history.
​The artists, whose proposals were chosen by a panel of judges from nearly 50 applicants, are painting the utility boxes over the next few weeks, serving up slices of Boston food history, including takes on famous coffee and candy companies, the foods of diverse cultures, iconic food locations across the city, and some of Boston’s best-known dishes. “Tasteful Boston” locations are centered in and around Downtown Crossing, spanning from Chinatown to Government Center to the heart of the Financial District.
“We wanted something joyful and positive that would be engaging to almost anybody on the street.” -- Anita Lauricella, Project Manager

Charlestown-based Jasmine Lee uses bright colors to render her fondest memories growing up in Chinatown: family dim sum brunches, community banquets, and the neighborhood’s bustling
​bakeries and Boba shops. 

Discover all the art and then stay for a fabulous meal.

There are so many great reasons to spend time in Downtown Boston. And, we have plenty of destination
