Boston Public Market

Start your morning at the Boston Public Market and taste the New England difference in one of the region's most important agricultural products: apples!

If that wasn’t enough, you'll taste a bit of history at a second market stall in the form of a surprising 17th-century snack with English roots

Union Oyster House

There's no better place to continue your Boston history lesson than at an iconic restaurant that hasn't closed its doors since 1826. This makes it not only the oldest restaurant in Boston, but the oldest one with continuous service in the entire United States! You'll sit in the very booth that was reserved for the 35th president, John F. Kennedy, to taste creamy clam chowder and another coastal classic: oysters!
