Most people will tell you to go to Legal Seafood, but I favor Jacob Wirth's. Since 1868. Go there for lunch. The Union Oyster House is fun, too -- since 1826. Everybody from Daniel Webster to JFK ate there. Durgin-Park has a fun old-time atmosphere, too, if you can stand the touristicisms of Faneuil Hall.
