The Kennedy Connection with Ye olde Union Oyster House
Boston has many Kennedy connections. One favorite is Ye olde Union Oyster House. When JFK was both a Congressman and a Senator, he frequently ate and socialized in restaurants and clubs. Not too far from his residence on Bowdoin Street was Ye olde Union Oyster House. He often was seated at Table 18 while enjoying one of his favorite meals, Lobster Stew. The booth was marked with a commemorative plaque in May of 1977.
After visiting the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, be sure to bring your ticket stub to Ye olde Union Oyster House where the bearer of the ticket will be entitled to a free cup of Union Oyster House Clam Chowder with the purchase of a lunch or dinner entree. This offer is good until August 31, 2009.
Ye olde Union Oyster House is located at 41 Union Street on the Freedom Trail in the Quincy Market area of Boston. Established in 1826, it is America’s oldest restaurant. For reservations call 617-227-2750.
The Kennedy Connection with the Boston Omni Parker House
The Boston Omni Parker House is a famous Boston landmark rich in Boston history since 1855. It was there that a young JFK made his first speech when he was 6 years old. In 1923, former Boston Mayor John (“Honey Fitz”) Fitzgerald was being celebrated with a Parker House party. JFK was asked by legendary politician Clement Norton to say “This is the best grandfather a child ever had.” The crowd loved JFK’s words and it went down in history as “Jack Kennedy’s first public speech.”
Twenty-three years later, John F. Kennedy announced his 1946 candidacy for the U.S. Congress. In the early fifties, then-Senator John F. Kennedy held his bachelor party and the Omni Parker House. His friends presented him with an oil painting of the July 1953 cover of LIFE magazine, depicting Jack sailing near Hyannis with fiancée Jacqueline Bouvier.
Show your admission ticket from the Museum at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library to receive a complimentary cup of chowder when you order a salad or sandwich OR a complimentary Boston Crème Pie dessert when you order an entree. This promotion is valid at Parker’s Restaurant, Parker’s Bar and The Last Hurrah until August 31, 2009. The Boston Omni Parker House is located at 60 School Street on the Freedom Trail and within walking distance to Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill and Boston’s Financial District.
