Fraunces Tavern

“Fraunces Tavern — one of those rare New York places where the history is almost absurdly intact. Opened in the 1700s, it’s where George Washington gave his farewell address after the Revolutionary War, though now it’s equally important for a very different reason: the chicken pot pie. The rooms are dark, wood-panelled, and wonderfully frozen in time, and there’s something deeply reassuring about eating an extremely good, very old-fashioned pot pie in a building that’s survived several centuries of New York chaos.”
