2. White Horse Tavern, Newport, Rhode Island, USA (1673)
White Horse Tavern is the oldest restaurant in the US and among the 10 oldest eateries in the world. It was established in 1673, and it’s still operating, so make sure you stop by if you have the chance!
In the past, the place housed the City Council, Criminal Court, and General Assembly. It’s now considered the “birthplace of the businessman’s lunch”, since the public officials who ate there usually charged their meals to the city treasury.
The tavern has classic dining rooms that serve both regional and exquisite food, as well as a wide range of wines from across the world. You can also shop at the tavern shop.

I lived in Boston for 30 years and The Old Union Oyster House was an every Saturday event for a dozen oysters on the half shell with that great taste of the ocean and a glass of cold beer. God, do I miss it!!!!!
