HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SEANA KELLY - GENERAL MANAGER OF DURKIN PARK IN BOSTON, MA. Seana (Shawna) is the GM and her parents were owners of Durkin Park until a few years ago. She remained as GM - A legendary historic restaurant, Durgin-Park is a centuries-old restaurant at 340 Faneuil Hall Marketplace in downtown Boston. The Greater Boston Convention and Visitors Bureau states that it has been a "landmark since 1827", and it continues to be a popular tourist destination within Quincy Market. The restaurant has entrances on both of its facades (Faneuil Hall and Clinton Street). In keeping with its long history, the concept of Durgin-Park maintains the tradition of communal seating at long tables. The menu is designed to offer traditional New England-style fare with a concentration on seafoods, chowders, broiled meats, and boiled dinners. The service is also a partial hold-over from the time of its founding as the waitstaff have been encouraged to adopt a "surly" attitude and "backtalk" the clientele. Another sign of it heritage, is that it has only changed head chefs a handful of times in its history. http://www.arkrestaurants.com/durgin_park.html DON FENWICK FROM CRUISEWORKS STOPS BY TO PROMOTE CRN'S "MURDER MYSTERY" CRUISE "More than a cruise...an experience!"
