Great Eats In the Great North – Part 1 – Union Oyster House, Boston

Even though we only had 1 full day in Boston, we dined at two famous locations; something we rarely do. Usually when we travel we only have one main meal for the day. But this day in Boston, we had two, and both were planned.

Our first stop was for lunch at Union Oyster House, the oldest continuous operating restaurant in North America.

Union Oyster House was like stepping into a Revolutionary museum. The walls were adorned with all kinds of history from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.

Union Oyster House is very proud of its historical contributions. They even offer historical brochures to their guests.

President John F. Kennedy is a famous Bostoner. He loved dining at Union Oyster House and even has his own booth named after him. People were sitting in it while we there, so I could not take a picture of it.

I could give you so many more pictures of Boston’s history just from Union Oyster House alone, but some things are better when experienced personally. Pictures don’t do justice to all of Boston’s history. Besides, the food was good too. We had to have some famous Boston clam chowder and fish ‘n chips while in Boston, and this is the place to get it.

I know I took pictures of us in the restaurant, but alas, they are somewhere in hiding at the moment and can’t be found. Oh well. You will just have to take my word for it that we were there and thoroughly enjoyed our first official meal in Boston.

Stay tuned. I have lots more coming your way. 🙂 Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
