Iconic Places For Food

  • Quote By Marina Koren, Smithsonian.com,
   Some of the most iconic places for food are presented to us by Marina Koren. What you may like to try is The Union Oyster House in Boston where customers can get a taste of history and New England oysters by sliding into the upstairs booth John F. Kennedy once preferred to eat his lobster soup in while reading the newspaper as a congressman. A century before that, the “Great Orator” Daniel Webster regularly enjoyed several plates of raw oysters, washing them down with brandy, at the U-shaped raw bar downstairs
   Other interesting place to eat is Joe`s Stone Crab. The eatery has been serving its signature dish of stone crab legs, a Floridian delicacy, since its real estate boasted only a few picnic tables in 1913 (today, the high-ceilinged restaurant seats 475). The legs are served chilled with mustard sauce and come in four sizes, from medium to jumbo. But the restaurant’s best-kept secret isn’t surf or turf—it’s a surprisingly cheap fried chicken (half a chicken costs $5.95), which loyal customers know to follow with Joe’s original homemade key lime pie.
   My question to the author is: What would you prefer - asteakhouse or a seafoor restaurant?

   In my opinion, even the pickiest person would love to eat at some of those places and I even would try all of them no matter that I prefer mostly vegetarian dishes.

ICONIC - significant.
RAW - uncooked.
LOBSTER - a large marine crustacean with a cylindrical body, stalked eyes, and the first of its five pairs of limbs modified as pincers.
