"Established in the midst of the Great Depression, classic watering hole Martin's Tavern in Georgetown has hosted every president from Harry Truman (booth 6), through George W. Bush and his family (table 12). John F. Kennedy even reportedly proposed to Jackie at the restaurant in 1953. The tavern is currently owned by fourth-generation Billy Martin, Jr., and celebrated its 90th anniversary in September. To celebrate the milestone, Martin’s Tavern reverts to pricing from its original 1933 menu on October 2-5. That means a cup of clam chowder or corn beef sandwich is just 20 cents a pop; chicken ala king is 85 cents; and three fried oysters, coleslaw, and French fries is a cool 35 cents." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
