This was probably one of the highlights for the whole family. Established in 1773, this tavern was a place where many of our founding fathers spent their time. The room that we ate in is called the Long Hall. It was where they had Washington’s pre-inaugural ball, and other things of history. You can read more about the City Tavern here. Unfortunately, the tavern burned to the ground in the 181854, but was rebuilt to exact specifications in the 1976.
The staff all wear what was worn back in the 1700’s, and the menu stays true to 18th century cuisine.
We were served three kinds of bread, all original recipes from the 1700’s. The white bread is called the ‘Sally Lund’ bread. The little sweet potato walnut biscuits are from the recipe of Thomas Jefferson!
David, ‘A’, and I ordered the Tavern Lobster Pie…to say it was yummy is an understatement. This was amazing! Big chunks of lobster under that flaky cover…
