Samuel Fraunces first purchased the property at 54 Pearl Street in 1762, and revelers have been drinking their cares away at Fraunces Tavern ever since. There’s plenty of history within these hallowed halls: British forces shot a cannonball through the roof in 1775, George Washington raised a glass here on several occasions and the bar even served as the headquarters of the Department of Foreign Affairs for a time. Whether your order one of Fraunces Tavern’s 130 craft beers or 200 whiskeys, make sure you raise a glass to the revolution!

Check out an abandoned hospital turned unofficial cat sanctuary
Take the tram over the East River to Roosevelt Island (an experience in itself) to find the ruins of a smallpox hospital. Built to keep contagious patients from the rest of Manhattan, it’s now home to a band of 70 or so feral cats. Well, maybe not that feral—the Wildlife Freedom Foundation provides all the food, beds and veterinary care these wild kitties need.
