Friday Field Trip : Fraunces Tavern 02/22/19 February 27, 2019
This past Friday we had lunch in the renovated colonial pub, Fraunces Tavern. It gave us a chance to feel the old New York and learn 200 years of history! From the moment we passed through the front door, we were inundated with American culture. As one student put it, the room was “antique.” From the cracked yet well-preserved eggshell paint on the doorframes to the lighting fixtures that could have just as easily held gaslights rather than electric bulbs, this was a treat we would not forget any time soon.
The tavern is much more than a bar. It has several dining rooms and there’s even a museum on the second floor. There’s a little something for everyone, and it’s well worth a stop if you like giant American hamburgers. When our meal came to an end, we all got a peek of the relics in the upper floor. It’s amazing what has been passed from generation to generation and how much life has changed since New York’s story as a city began.
We certainly left with more than a full stomach, and I look forward to taking more students to such a rich oasis of culture again.
