Swan Oyster Depot Opens on Polk Street
ESTIMATED75% CONFIDENCEWikipedia[1] says "It opened there in 1903" and names no month or day, so the pin takes that year's last day.
Swan Oyster Depot opened on Polk Street in 1903 and has run more or less continuously since, pausing only to rebuild after the 1906 earthquake. It is barely a restaurant - a marble counter with about eighteen stools, no tables, no kitchen to speak of - and has been run by the same family for generations, serving the same short list of cold shellfish.
