Beantown is a nickname for Boston, a city in the United States. It comes from Boston baked beans, a famous old local dish of beans cooked slow with molasses. You meet the name in sports writing, travel talk, and headlines more than in careful geography. Boston people may smile at it rather than use it every day about their own city. Informal, American, a little tourist-postcard. It is only Boston, not a general word for any city that eats beans.
