The Best New England Clam Chowder in Boston

"As the nation’s oldest continuously running restaurant, Union Oyster House has picked up a lot of famous fans over the decades. Former President Barack Obama has swung in for clam chowder, Leonardo DiCaprio enjoys a private booth by the lobster tanks when he drops in, and two rare orange lobsters briefly called the restaurant home in 2023 before they were released back into the ocean. While the lobsters might demure, others will attest that the chowder here more than passes muster." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams, Terrence Doyle
