Known for its communal seating at very long tables and surly waitresses, it prides itself on its Chowders, Indian puddings, apple pan dowdy, johnny cake, and New England boiled dinners. [1]
[edit] History
While the origin of Durgin-Park goes back to Revolutionary days, John Durgin, in partnership with Eldridge Park, a livery man, and John G. Chandler, a dry goods merchant, took over some 130 years ago. The restaurant claims that is when they began their "claim to fame." [2] The Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau says it has been a "landmark since 1827." [3]
