Now that it is December, it is time to explore Downtown Boston!
Walking all over Downtown on December 12, 2012, our first place of interest is the Parker House.
Everything in Downtown Boston is so close to each other that there are many ways to get to a particular place. To visit the Parker House, get to Park Street or Government Center. The Parker House is between the two stops at the intersection of Tremont Street and School Street.
"One of Boston's luxury hotels, opened by innovative hosteler Harvey Parker, the Parker House has been operating on this site since 1856. Parker introduced the European Plan, started the practice of serving meals continuously, and coined the term "scrod" for the fresh white fish catch of the day. The fabled Parker House Roll and the Boston Cream Pie originated here. Among the illustrious patrons of the Parker House were Charles Dickens, Ulysses S. Grant and John F. Kennedy. The members of the Saturday Club, a group of leading 19th century authors including Emerson, Lowell and Longfellow, gathered here.
