Some places truly stand the test of time. That statement certainly applies to the Union Oyster House, a famous Boston restaurant that’s been open since 1826, serving some of the best New England cuisine, especially seafood, ever since. It also happens to be the oldest restaurant in Massachusetts. Let’s have a look:

The history of the Union Oyster House began all the way back in 1826 when food was served out of the pre-Revolutionary War building it's housed in. A National Historic Landmark, this restaurant is a Boston fixture located along the Freedom Trail.
