The vibe

Built in 1719 and a National Historic Landmark; site where George Washington bade farewell to his officers in 1783. One of the most historically significant venues in the United States. Booked over 3,600 times on OpenTable, rated 4.7. The oldest standing structure in Manhattan doubles as a serious happy hour destination — nowhere else in FiDi can you eat $1.50 oysters in a room where Washington once stood.
