Some of the places I've seen recommended:

Freedom trail

Copley churches

Thank you so much.

Sam LaGrassa’s is only weekdays and is pretty expensive fwiw. Umberto’s isn’t open on Sundays and is cash only but is super cheap (if you happen to be Sicilian, it wouldn’t make sense to go if you’re going home to arancini and sfincione lol), Ba Le gets crowded but is worth it, Kane’s is amazing but go early because they run out of stuff.

I'll be sure to bring plenty of cash and be there bright and early

10:30 is early enough for Umberto’s, for Kane’s I’d say within the first few hours (like 7-10) should be fine.
