Your Stories: Billy Martin's Tavern Uncovers Old Photos
WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) - When you walk into Billy Martin's Tavern, you can't help but be hit by the history.
"This is what we call the proposal booth," says 4th generation owner, Billy Martin, as he walks along a row of old booths inside the restaurant's main dining room. "It's the booth where John F. Kennedy actually proposed to Jackie. This is where he asked her to get married."
In 75 years, Martin's Tavern has served every U.S. president since Harry Truman, except for President Obama. For a restaurant that old and with that much history, Martin says there's still one thing that's missing.
