Durgin Park

Durgin Park

Durgin Park is a centuries-old Restaurant in the Faneuil Hall Marketplace in downtown Boston. The Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau states that it has been a "landmark since 1827", [Bostonusa.com] and it continues to be a popular tourist destination within Faneuil Hall. [frommers.com]

In keeping with its long history, the concept of Durgin Park maintains the tradition of communal seating at long tables. The menu is designed to offer traditional New England-style fare with a concentration on seafoods, chowders, broiled meats, and boiled dinners. [Official Website] The service is also a partial hold-over from the time of its founding as the waitstaff are now encouraged to adopt a "surly" attitude and "backtalk" the clientele. [frommers.com]

History

While there has been a restaurant at the location since the days of the American Revolution, the origin of Durgin Park itself can be traced to the Reconstruction era when a partnership of John Durgin, Eldridge Park and John G. Chandler acquired the business. [Official Website] It was this trio that established the concepts of food and service that have remained essentially unchanged.
