A historic colonial-era tavern in Lower Manhattan that's been beautifully preserved and serves American comfort food with real character. Get the dry rub chicken wings, oysters, mac and cheese, pot pie, or fish and chips—all praised by regulars. The main caveat: the greeting staff can be inconsistent, though table service itself is reliably good.
