New York City is home to Fraunces Tavern, a local landmark that will transport you back to Colonial America. Start your July Fourth with a walking tour and explore NYC's Revolutionary War sites, or opt to stroll the New York Freedom Trail, which the Tavern is a part of. Head up to the Fraunces Tavern Museum, upstairs from the restaurant, to truly get a sense of New York's role in our country's revolutionary days. Dine downstairs in the surprisingly spacious bar and restaurant, or host a private celebration in one of their eight party rooms, such as Lafayette's Hideout. 

There's no denying that alcohol has been an integral part of American culture. During Colonial times, alcohol was used to treat illnesses, increase strength and celebrate achievements -- like gaining national independence! In fact, the very first July 4th celebration took place in a tavern. Visit one of these historic American bars this Independence Day!
