"Established in 1826, this is Boston's oldest continuing restaurant. Consider having what Daniel Webster had -- oysters on the half shell at the ground-floor raw bar, which is the oldest part of the restaurant and still the best...."

"I know that the Union Oyster House is a very touristy restaurant, but they must be doing something right to be the longest continuously open restaurant in the US. While the restaurant food is OK, it's the raw bar that you want to try when you are there...."
