Historic restaurant options in Boston


After walking down from Bunker Hill, we decided to check out this very historic pub named "Warren Tavern." It's patrons included Paul Revere and George Washington. The original owner of the pub, who fought in the great battle at Bunker Hill, was killed during that battle. The pub was built in 1780.
Today it is considered one of the oldest pubs in Boston. Famous for it's home-made chips....yummy.

"The Bell in Hand Tavern" original owner was the town crier. It is also one of the oldest in Boston. Today it is still jammed packed for Tuesday night karaoke.




































The "Union Oyster House" is considered the oldest restaurant in the US. Opened in 1826, JFK was a famous, frequent customer of this restaurant with a booth now dedicated to him.
We had no way to save the lobster in the picture. He was in the window of the Union Oyster House. Sorry little guy...see you on the other side.
