i would look into quincy for good dim sum honestly - there’s a large east asian population outside of the city bc chinatown (and boston in general) has become too expensive to live in

it’s easier to get around boston on foot than by car most of the time (bar the mbta being non functional).

but generally when people say walkable they mean the city doesn’t prioritize cars over pedestrians. boston did that unintentionally bc it’s not a planned city, so the streets are a mess but walking around is pretty straightforward.
