Durgin Park, located in Faneuil Hall Marketplace, is the place to go for traditional New England fare. Pot roast, prime rib and Indian pudding (a delicious concoction made from molasses and cornmeal and topped with a dollop of vanilla ice cream) are favorites. The staff can be a bit surly, but that is part of the charm. Dining is family-style, so grab a spot at one of the long picnic tables and prepare for a feast. For a Boston treat, add a side of baked beans, and leave room for apple pie. The restaurant features two full service bars.
