Warren Tavern

I just want to reiterate what Jay said about the Warren Tavern. It is a great spot to hang out and drink, eat and (in my case) watch football.
I checked out the history of the place and it has had some really notable folks belly up to the bar, including Paul Revere and George Washington.
It's named for Dr. Joseph Warren who was a real Patriot - present at the Boston Tea Party and felled by the British at Bunker Hill, mere steps from the establishment.
I love when my drinking outings become exercises in historical learning.
DC people - take a lesson from Dr. Warren - not the dying part but the protesting part - get out there and make a stink about your own "Taxation Without Representation!"

Old German Beer Hall

We started Saturday's bar crawl at a very nice place I discovered via Gridskipper.
It's called Jacob Wirth and is best described as a German Beer Hall with upscale treats.
I had some amazing nachos with a bleu cheese bechamel sauce. Heavenly. Jim indulged in Jaeger Schnitzel made with veal. It seemed, well, mighty hearty to me.
The restaurant is situated between Chinatown (a real Chinatown. Huzzah!) and the Theatre District, within walking distance of Boston Common (editor's note - Boston Common = singular. The Public Gardens = plural. This knowledge courtesy of my favorite MassHole). It's Boston's 2nd oldest restaurant, bested only by Union Oyster House, where, as it turns out, we snacked and watched the Red Sox on Sunday.
Jim took this super cool picture of the clock in front of the restaurant; I think I'm going to push him to print and frame this so we can put it somewhere in our new apartment.
