With author Dan Dain

Join Dan Dain, author of the book A History of Boston, as he leads you through a history of restaurant dining in Boston from the colonial period to the present. He will walk you through the history of colonial taverns, early “restorators,” the golden era of hotel dining, the rise of lunch counters and oyster bars, the introduction of ethnic eateries, the wasteland of much of 20th century Boston dining, and the restaurant renaissance of the past three decades. Dan will discuss the importance of vibrant dining scenes to the vitality of cities, and what lessons we can learn from the past as we create the urban settings of the future.

This event is free and open to the everyone. Refreshments will be served.
