Webster House,

One Webster Street (Webster Square), Worcester, 757-7208.

You can almost see the ghosts of teenage couples dipping their straws into a root beers back in 1953 when Webster House opened as a soda shop. Today, in an atmosphere reminiscent of a Colonial parlor, you can choose from a fairly basic menu of New England favorites " seafood, Yankee pot roast, toasted clam roll, and chicken pot pie " and other offerings and come away satisfied and only a few bucks poorer.

Price Range: $2 - $11.
