Mount Vernon Hotel Museum, and Garden
A wee garden in the center of Manhattan, originally owned by Colonel William Stephens Smith and his wife Abigail Adams Smith, the Mount Vernon Hotel was a retreat for the 19th century elite from the stress and pollution of the city. Sip lemonade and play cards on the gazebo while you contemplate your governmental take over.
