Boston’s Best Classic Restaurants | Eater Boston
"The oldest continuously operating restaurant in the entire country, Union Oyster House opened its doors in 1826. The building itself had been built before then, in the early 1700s, and it served as a dress goods business. The Kennedy family were Union Oyster House regulars (and have a dedicated booth), among other well-known diners, and the future king of France lived on the second floor in exile in 1796. Another fun fact: the toothpick’s first use in restaurants was also here." - Katie Chudy
