The bar where I used to hang out had a second story for the proper folks to escape the ruckus and smoke from the surly drunks downstairs. Fraunces Tavern’s upstairs played host to the Sons of the Revolution as they sipped their ale and plotted succession from the King of England. Today it is a wonderful museum full of historical artifacts and should be on everyone’s tour itinerary. Unfortunately the taps are dry so if you get thirsty during your visit take a short walk over to Stone and Pearl Streets which has all the pubs and restaurants you could ask for. If you are really hungry then stop at Delmonico’s, one of New York Cities oldest restaurants.

    Hi Chris -
    Great site! You may want to update that Fraunces Tavern Restaurant is open again and the taps are no longer dry–as a matter of fact they now flow with a great variety of fine ales, thanks to the new restaurant tenant, The Porterhouse Brewery.
    Also, on a historical note, it was the Sons of Liberty (as well as many other civic, business-related and fraternal groups) who met at Fraunces Tavern in the 1700′s. The Sons of the Revolution was later formed there in the 1880s and now owns the building, which it purchased in 1904, restored and reopened in 1907.
    Perhaps you could add Fraunces Tavern Museum’s website link to your list of Museums as well. It is the only museum in Manhattan dedicated to the American Revolution.
    Keep up the great work and the great photography!
