Any place that’s good enough for Paul Revere and George Washington is probably more than adequate for Sunday brunch. The Warren Tavern is one of those places. It’s the oldest tavern in Massachusetts and one of the oldest in the nation—and it has played host to some historic diners, including Washington and Revere.

Grab a table during the weekend brunch and start with the breakfast tater tots loaded with jack cheese, jalapenos, scallions, smoked bacon, and a sunny-side-up egg. As you enjoy the tater tots, weigh your entree options. You can sink your teeth into a BLT layered with avocado, an egg, and jalapeno-infused mayo or the cinnamon-glazed French toast with local maple syrup. Craving a burger or a sandwich? Try the Cottage, a burger topped with a fried organic egg, bacon, and cheddar cheese, or the buttermilk fried chicken sandwich.

If you’re the type of person who has a hard time choosing just one thing off the menu, The Longfellow Bar’s approach to dining. The chef prepares smaller plates that are designed for sharing, so you have the opportunity to taste-test a huge variety of unique bites. Since the gastropub opened in January, foodies have been flocking here to share the modern American tapas.

Start with the warm rye pretzel with cheddar shmear, mustard, and pickles and the smoked freekeh bread smothered with maple-koji butter. Then dig into the crab rangoon nachos, loaded with jalapenos, cream cheese, and scallions or the classic waffle fries decorated with ketchup, a house-made Sunday sauce, and coarse salt. The menu also includes a few slightly larger tapas, like Alden’s burger on a house-made bun, the Greenwood fried chicken torta, and the hickory-smoked wing flats.
