According to one historical account George Washington stopped at the tavern while on his way to Philadelphia. When he left to continue his journey, literally minutes later British forces showed up at the tavern intending to capture Washington and summarily execute him on the spot. Gen. Washington literally dodged a bullet.

Sickening that some 250 later here we are, too many of our, I hate saying this, fellow citizens in NYC and elsewhere are trying to do what the British couldn't accomplish.

They beat my aunts place. Not by much though.

Agree. Despicable. But they will not win.

Thanks for posting. A very interesting piece of American History. I would love to visit the ‘76 House. Maybe one day.

In 6 months it’ll be a mosque if mamdani has anything say about it.

I grew up close to that tavern and ate there a few times. They have kept the colonial era ambiance.

If I could travel back in time, I’d love to drop into the taverns where the American Revolution was hatched, especially in Boston and the surrounding area.

I wonder if it was featured in Turn: Washington’s Spy’s on Netflix.

A related tavern in NYC.

Saved on my maps.

When I head to NY, it’ll get a visit.

Don’t let our prohibitionist friends see this.

They’ll try to petition and protest to have this place sell milk-shakes instead of beer.

Times change, they don’t need to sell the “Devil’s brew” today.

That's an unlikely story since it is far out of the way for someone travelling between NYC and Philadelphia.
