Fraunces Tavern in New York City

The Fraunces Tavern in New York was very high on our list on this visit.  We really wanted to spend some time at this very historic place.

This little building served as a headquarters for George Washington!  And now, you can go there and have a meal, and explore their museum!

The place is still a functioning place to get food and spirits.  I enjoyed a very nice three cheese grilled cheese and tomato soup here.  Our food had good flavor and it was very filling.  I think my meal was around $16, which I thought was very reasonable for this area, and venue.  I know, you are thinking $16 for grilled cheese and soup.....  But this meal was really nice.  AND it was in the Fraunces Tavern.  I was very happy with it.

The restaurant/bar is on the first floor of the tavern, and it is cozy, with a very old feel.  We enjoyed just hanging out and eating in this area for a bit. 

The main attraction items are upstairs in the museum area.  I think it was $7 or so tour the second and third floor museum.

In this area, there are lots of cool, historic things to see.  There is a room where Washington had his "farewell to his officers".

Pretty much all of the early big names in politics passed through here....  and the building still has odd history attached to it....  a bomb went off here in 1975.

The museum has an amazing collection of art and relics too, mostly relating to POTUS #1.  I had to see a piece of one of Washington's teeth and a clip of his hair.
