Hasn't really been a thing in Boston in a very long time, but the Union Oyster House has a side dish of baked beans. The last place to really serve them was Durgin-Park, but that closed in 2019 after being open for almost 200 years.

Also, be aware that calling Boston "beantown" is becoming a local faux pas. The only acceptable bean reference I can think of is the Beanpot college hockey tournament.

As a sidenote, the link you attached has a bunch of theories that are probably incorrect, given that the Boston National League baseball team was called the Beaneaters as early as 1883.

Excuse me there tourist, you must not be familiar with the port city of Boston. Nobody here says Beantown. Please enjoy this documentary about our diverse aquatic life.
