Durgin-Park Dinner Menu |
|
|
At Durgin, in those days, you could choose among nineteen decent meals without enriching
Governor Furcolo in his old age (he lived to 83). In this spirit, most Massachusetts restaurants catering to a modest clientèle offered at least something under a buck.
Durgin’s signature Prime Rib went for $3.95. It was big (slopped over the edge of the plate on both sides) and yummy. They ran, briefly and only once to my awareness, a promotion to the effect that if you could ingest the entire Prime Rib AND their marvelous Dollar Strawberry Shortcake at a sitting, you could have them for free. No sharing, though… |
