About
Union Oyster House has served food at 41 Union Street since 1826, and it bills itself as America's oldest restaurant; its own history page puts the claim more precisely, as the oldest restaurant in continuous service in the United States. The National Park Service designated it a National Historic Landmark in 2003, and the restaurant says its wooden stalls and semi-circular oyster bar still stand where they were first installed.
It suits first-time visitors walking the Freedom Trail who want New England seafood with the history attached, and families looking for an uncomplicated lunch one block from Faneuil Hall. By subway, the restaurant points guests to State Street on the Blue Line or Haymarket on the Orange and Green lines.
