Lived on Northshore Boston 26 years. Loved all the places you mentioned in that area. Impossible to duplicate that here. Those places have been there for years and were developed based upon ethnic population and nearness to the ocean and the access to the infrastructure of businesses to support those restaurants.
None of that is available here. Restaurant staffing may be from Ocala. Food infrastructure is not local. Most items brought in from the north.
That said, I agree with most posters. No Northshore Chinese, Roast Beef, Pizza, Fish available. But since you are moving from that area, you need to adapt to being out of the Northshore area. No ocean, no snow, no mountains. But Catfish, Baby Back Ribs, Grits Alligator Bits, Fried Chicken. Change is good.
