Description:
Built in 1668, The '76 House is New York's oldest tavern. While rife with history, this national landmark is equally well-known for its award-winning menu, which is executed with a continental touch that would have garnered the praise of such former patrons as Gen. George Washington, Gen. Lafayette and Col. Alexander Hamilton. Once a nerve center of revolutionary activity, The '76 House played host to America's most revered 18th-century celebrities. Nevertheless, it's 21st-century clientele has been equally stellar, including such notables as Robert DeNiro, Bill Murray and Julia Roberts. The brilliantly restored tavern provides a cozy, colonial environment defined by rich woodwork, period antiques, four working fireplaces, and the original bar. Amid these trappings of centuries past, diners are treated to warm hospitality coupled with Executive Chef Doug Mulholland's incomparable Yankee Pot Roast, Homemade Blueclaw Crabcakes and Roast Duckling Hamilton. Open for lunch and dinner daily, The '76 House features live weekend jazz and acoustic guitar, plus a wonderful Sunday buffet brunch from 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
