Belly-up To The Bar


Those that know me well would also know that I have a thing for old, historic watering holes, or taverns.  Recently the family and I spent seven days in New York and took the opportunity to dine at the oldest standing structure in Gotham City.

Established in 1762, this is New York's oldest and most historic bar and restaurant.  Fraunce's Tavern is a National Landmark and watering hole of any number of the Founding Fathers. 

After the last British troops departed for England, on December 4, 1783 General George Washington gathered his officers here to honor and thank them for their service and bid them an emotional farewell.

Cheers!
