Fraunces Tavern
Fraunces TavernIf your readers are downtown or finance types, then they probably already know about Fraunces Tavern. It's an incredibly important part of the city's history, of Wall Street history, of economic history. It was there that the first stock market took place and was established. It functioned as a head of the seat of government. It's an incredibly important building. You can enjoy a meal there, or a few drinks. It's not much of a tavern these days, but there's also a funny museum there. A lot of people go for a drink at the bar, but not many people know the museum. They should really keep it open later. I bet they'd have a large spillover crowd. You know, Alexander Hamilton worked above Fraunces Tavern. They would drink there. That's amazing. Fraunces Tavern 54 Pearl Street 212-968-1776 [Photo via]
