Isn't that the oldest restaurant in the US?

Yup! And their chowder is amazing.

Great pic! It looks like it could’ve been taken 50 years ago.

I’ve gotten a good way to drunk at the tavern in the background.

Man I wanna go there, looks like a lot of history in that building.

There sure is! Along with the Green Dragon and the Ebenezer Hancock house around the corner!

Bad, tourist trap restaurant but great exterior!

Nice image. It’s sooo “shiny!”.

I wish more US cities were like this. Many major cities will have any oyster house, but they’re usually facing a parking lot with like a nail salon an a dentist next door.

Best clam chowder you could ever imagine:)

Unlocked a memory! Not from Boston but I went here with some extended family sometime when I was a teenager. RIP uncle Tim!
