New England style

Boston area manner

New England style describes food preparation typical of the northeastern United States—particularly Massachusetts, Maine, and surrounding states.

A New England style clam chowder is cream-based rather than tomato-based.

A New England style hot dog bun is split on top rather than the side, with flat sides for griddling.

The term often signals traditional, unfussy preparation emphasizing fresh regional ingredients, especially seafood.
