8. Fraunces Tavern, New York City, New York, USA (1762)

Fraunces Tavern is New York’s oldest restaurant, dating back to 1762. The establishment was built in 1719 and has a number of noteworthy ties to our country’s past, making it more than just a restaurant.

For example, George Washington decided to move in here during the American Revolution and even turned this place into his official headquarters. Here’s another interesting fact: The New York Chamber of Commerce was founded here in 1768.

Today, Fraunces Tavern is both a restaurant and a museum. The menu consists of slightly fancy but mostly traditional American pub food. Prices tend to be on the higher side, but at least there’s a decent amount of dishes, including steak, burgers, sandwiches, fish, and salads.

  1. I lived in Boston for 30 years and The Old Union Oyster House was an every Saturday event for a dozen oysters on the half shell with that great taste of the ocean and a glass of cold beer. God, do I miss it!!!!!
