Description

This one-of-a-kind museum/restaurant/bar located in historic New York honors the pivotal year of 1783, when the British surrendered control of the city after the Revolutionary War and General George Washington gave his famous farewell address to the Continental Army in the second-floor dining room before returning home to Mt Vernon. Constructed from five 18th-century buildings, the unique establishment celebrates this historic moment with its many artifacts and special events.
