Continuing through Old Downtown, just past Faneuil Hall, you will experience the renowned Quincy Market, which has served as a marketplace in Boston since 1742. The Old Downtown area also boasts America's oldest restaurant, The Union Oyster House. This restaurant was founded in 1826 and still serves up delicious oysters to Boston's residents today.
