<p>I had suggested Jacob Wirth’s for its Friday night singalongs - something that you wouldn’t see at Locke Ober’s. :)</p>
<p>When I was little, Locke Ober’s was definitely an institution - women weren’t allowed in the bar, etc. Yes, it still have a history, but it’s also pricey. Another good option in the historical vein is the Union Oyster House that is the oldest operating restaurant in the US and has the JFK booth where he would sit when he visited. And yes, you can request to be seated there.</p>
