"Before Upshur Street blew up with new restaurants, there was always Hitching Post — a reliable destination for happy hour Manhattans and delicious fried chicken with a choice of two sides (get the mac and cheese). The storied space, open since 1967, sits right across from President Abraham Lincoln’s cottage." - Tim Ebner
