We ate lunch at the City Tavern in Philadelphia. Which served food to Washington, Jefferson, well, you get the idea. I had the best pot pie I’ve ever had. It was from a recipe of Martha Washington’s. How cool is that? Jon drank a beer that was based on George Washington’s recipe. But there was plenty of things on the menu that weren’t directly from the Washington’s cupboard. The bread plate was wonderful, Jon and I especially liked the molasses bread. There was a biscuit on it that was a Thomas Jefferson fav, though not our favorite. Trinity had turkey noodle soup and loved it. Jon and I had potato leek soup and loved it. Jon had a homemade sausage platter that was a special, again a hit. Trin finished off with a desert that was once again one of Martha’s recipes. A chocolate mousse cake, or did they call it a pie?
Either way, we enjoyed our meal enough to buy the recipe book, and had the chef sign it. The City Tavern is well worth going to, but it is not cheap. It’s definitely a good date place, or that special meal for older children and you. There was a coupon in the give away paper you can get at the information center which knocked about twenty or thirty dollars off the price of lunch. Yeah, when a coupon knocks enough off to feed your family at most places, it’s pricey. So be warned, but it was like stepping back into history, and you could eat it. Yummy, yummy history.
Four pages today, and I’m done. No matter how fun the vacation, it always seems to take awhile to get back up to speed once you get home. But, strangely, after writing the blog above, I’m reminded that I haven’t had lunch.
