DURGIN PARK

This wonderful picture takes up a whole wall at the Durgin Park Logan Airport Branch, with the caption ' ... your Grand Father, and probably your Great Grand Father, dined with us ...'  This is yet another Boston tradition in the Faneuil Hall area where generations of Bostonians, college kids, and visitors (local & foreign) have dined.  I still remember every detail of this century old tradition which is captured by; breathtakingly tight communal seating at long tables, checkered table cloths, aged log floors that squeaks, matronly waitresses more like your stern aunts who insist on checking IDs before drinks, mouth watering piping hot corn bread that comes before the menu, and to us poor students, the ultimate pleasure of their house special ... Poor Man's Roast Beef @ US$2.95 back in 1968 ... heaven on earth!
