Podcasts about Fraunces Tavern

On Monday, January 27, 2025, SRNY commemorated the birthday of Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, the second President of the Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc., whose generosity enabled the Society to acquire Fraunces Tavern in 1904. Our featured speaker was Richard Brookhiser,* author of Glorious Lessons: John Trumbull, Painter of the American Revolution. This engaging book tells the life-story of John Trumbull, and also explains the significance of Trumbull's celebrated Revolutionary War paintings, which reflected Trumbull's personal experience as aide to George Washington and to Horatio Gates. Richard Brookhiser is a celebrated journalist and author who has written a series of biographies and other books on American founders and other leading figures in American history, including Alexander Hamilton, Governor Morris, George Washington, John Marshall, James Madison, Abraham Lincoln and the Adams family dynasty. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.

Labor Day weekend was nice–if you got to get away or enjoy it. The weather was lovely in most parts of the country. But summer is now over. School is back in session. The craziest election season of our lifetime is upon us. And damn, summer already seems far away.  Trump and Harris are bombing away at full throttle now. And fighting for the coveted “swing voters” in swing states. But who are these powerful and mysterious voters? What do these mostly independent Americans really care about most? Why do we have to keep talking about Robert F Kennedy Jr? Why is Trump's Arlington controversy still in the news? What did Senator John McCain's son have to say? Can we please go back to summer?!?! And meanwhile, war continues to rage around the world. Including involving US troops in…Iraq?!?! While Israel recovered six hostages brutally murdered by Hammas, Ukrainian civilians continue to be bombed and rocketed by Putin. The world is on fire and our broken political system is only making it worse.  So as summer fades and fall's chill creeps in, our host, Paul Rieckhoff, will get you ready for a new school year, a wild fall election season, the 24th anniversary of 9/11 next week, AND the start of football! Because we're all gonna need a break from news and politics this fall especially. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows. It's content for the 51% of Americans that now call themselves independent. Always with a unique focus on national security, foreign affairs and military and vets issues. This is another pod to help you stay vigilant. Because vigilance is the price of democracy.

The campaign season rages on and it's another week with another incident of Trump disrespecting the troops and refusing to follow the rules. It's just another drop in the bucket to some people, but in this episode, Paul Rieckhoff breaks down why it's a massive insult to current and former troops and a violation of the most sacred space in our country. It's a context you're not going to hear most places, and it's critical to understanding the gravity of the situation. And he's also digging into the collapse of the Kennedy Presidential campaign, a powerful admission by former UFC fighter and WWE star, Ronda Rousey, and reflecting early on the true meaning and power of 9/11. And give you a sneak preview of a special Independent Veterans of America event happening next month.  The corporate and partisan media are complicit in the dangerous dysfunction and division of our politics. There's a constant communications battle happening behind the scenes that most Americans never see. The spin, the pitching, the pushback, the misinformation, the threats, the negotiating of access.  Most of the media is one giant self-licking ice cream cone. But not this show. We call it straight and if you don't think so, let us know about it. Every episode of Independent Americans is independent light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

It is a truism that Lower Manhattan has been America's town square since its founding in 1524, even though its history is much deeper. Virtually every aspect of global, local and national significance can be in some manner traced to this Downtown stage. Some have been forgotten and some have been transformative in our culture and many have fallen between. This is both a project in urban archaeology and a way of describing the city over time. It Happened Here captures the multiple and overlapping stories that are woven throughout our city's life. It embraces America's history as the museums, monuments and memorials that dot its streetscape do. It highlights many of the concerns, events, and places that the people who lived, fought, worked and visited here thought were important at their moment in time. The July 4, 2024 program at Fraunces Tavern Museum was the fifth prequel event leading up to the United States' upcoming 250th birthday and a 4-day It Happened Here celebration the weekend of July 4, 2025. This year's event included speakers on the following topics: Lower Manhattan: The Most Historic Spot in the Unites States; Upcoming Anniversaries: United States's 250th and New York's 400th; Fraunces Tavern: Its Revolutionary Story; The Promise of Liberty: An Authentic Originalism; Lafayette: A Hero's Return - Commemorating the 200th Anniversary of Marquis de Lafayette's Grand Tour of the United States in 1824; First Reading of the Declaration of Independence in New York and the Destruction of the Statue of King George III. *The views of the speakers are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc. or its Fraunces Tavern® Museum.

He's a construction worker from Queens who's lived in the city most of his life. He always liked reading the comics and the horoscope in The News. 就某些方面而言，肯尼．霍斯帕堪稱每日新聞報的典型讀者。他是紐約市皇后區的一個建築工人，這一生大多數時間都住在這個城市。他一向愛看該報的漫畫和星座運勢。 How long since he last bought a copy of the paper? Hospot laughed. “I would say like 15 years.” 他上一次買這份報紙是多久之前？霍斯帕笑了，「我看大概有15年了吧。」 Kamel Brown is another archetypal customer for New York's Hometown Newspaper, as The Daily News styles itself. He's a maintenance worker for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. He's 55 years old. He grew up buying the paper for his grandmother in Brooklyn. “When she was finished reading it, I'd pick it up, flip back and start with the sports,” Brown said. 對於自我定位為紐約家鄉報紙的每日新聞報，凱默．布朗是另一種典型讀者。他是都市交通局的維修工人，55歲。他在布魯克林區的成長過程中，常幫祖母買這份報紙。布朗說：「她看完後，我會拿過來，翻回去，從運動版開始看。」 He doesn't remember the last time he bought it. When he paged through a copy at a friend's home this past week, he was unimpressed. 他不記得上次買這份報紙是何時。過去這一周的某日他在友人家翻閱一分報紙時，很無感。 Tristan Dominguez, on the other hand, is still a big Daily News fan. “It's the only place you see anything local,” Dominguez said at a bodega in Washington Heights, where a stack of papers sat behind the counter. 另一方面，崔斯坦．多明奎茲仍是新聞報的大粉絲。「這是你唯一能看到在地新聞的地方。」多明奎茲在華盛頓高地的一家雜貨店內說，櫃檯後方有一大疊報紙。 He reads the paper mostly online and through Twitter. 他大多數是上網或透過推特看這份報紙。 All of this helps explain why there was an air of inevitability about the news Monday that the organization was laying off half its editorial staff. 這些例子亦可說明，當這家報社決定資遣編輯部一半員工的消息周一（7月23日）傳出時，為何外界會覺得此事似難避免。 Once upon a time, The Daily News sold more than 2 million papers a day. Now its circulation is only about a tenth of that, and the paper's non-hometown owner, the Chicago-based media company Tronc, which bought the paper in 2017, does not have the patience for non-profitability that the prior owner, Mort Zuckerman, did. 每日新聞報曾經一天賣出200萬分以上，現在發行量大約只剩十分之一。這家報社的非在地老闆、芝加哥的媒體公司Tronc，2017年買下每日新聞報，對於它未能獲利，並沒有前任老闆莫特．札克曼那般的耐性。 At a cultural moment when the very idea of New York City as a hometown is quickly dissolving, and when most people get their news from some sort of glowing screen, the thirst for local ink is not what it used to be. 在當下這個文化時刻，將紐約市當作家鄉的想法正在快速瓦解，而且大多數人是從某種閃爍的螢幕獲得新聞，對於在地新聞文字報導的渴求已不如以往。 And those who do crave hard-hitting coverage that holds officials accountable for the state of the city were not pleased to hear about the layoffs. 對於那些渴望看到逼官員為城市現況負起責任的強烈抨擊報導的人，聽到前述資遣消息並非樂事。 “You need those old-school people because they know what they're doing,” Rosanne Nunziata, a manager at the New Apollo Diner in downtown Brooklyn, said of The Daily News' staff of veteran shoe-leather reporters, many of whom are now pounding the pavement in search of employment. “They know how to sneak in and get their stories, and know how to get witnesses to talk and do their thing.” 布魯克林鬧區「新阿波羅餐館」經理羅珊娜．努齊亞塔說：「你需要這些老派人士，因為他們知道自己在做什麼。」她指的是新聞報本分且資深的記者，這些人中有不少正在路上奔走著找工作。「他們知道如何潛入並取得新聞，也知道如何讓目擊者開口，做好他們的工作。」 The New York Post, The Daily News' longtime rival for tabloid dominance, has seen its circulation plummet, too. Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns The Post, has long tolerated the paper's unprofitability, but there may come a time when his successors have far less stomach for red ink. 每日新聞報的長期對手，爭奪八卦小報霸主地位的紐約郵報，發行量也持續大跌。擁有紐約郵報的新聞集團老闆魯柏．梅鐸，長期容忍這家報紙未能獲利。但是也許有一天，他的接班人對赤字的容忍度會小得多。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/330084/web/ Next Article Topic: Dumplings tempt New Yorkers with pizza, peanut butter flavors - and no human contact New Yorkers can now get their dumpling fix from an automat with no human contact, and the adventurous can order flavors ranging from pepperoni pizza to peanut butter and jelly. 紐約客現在可由一套不需要與人接觸的自動販賣機為他們料理餃子，喜歡嘗試新鮮的人可從義式臘腸披薩到花生醬、果醬等口味中選購。 While the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop in the city's East Village offers traditional pork and chicken bite-sized treats, chicken parm or Philly cheesesteak are also on the menu. 位於這座城市東村的布魯克林餃子店，提供一口大小的傳統豬肉、雞肉餡點心，菜單上也有焗烤雞肉，或是費城牛肉起司三明治。 Spurred by the pandemic and technology advances, the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is delivering food via automat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 在這場疫情以及科技進步的帶動下，布魯克林餃子店正透過自動販賣機，全年無休24小時出餐。 "Embrace technology, because technology is something that has to be embraced by hospitality（business）to thrive," said the shop's owner Stratis Morfogen. 「擁抱科技，因為餐旅（業）要蒸蒸日上，就得擁抱科技」，店老闆史特拉狄斯．摩佛根說。 Next Article Topic: New York lawmakers pass bill allowing gender-neutral "X" option in govt documents 紐約州議員通過法案 允許政府文件中可選擇中立性別「X」 The New York state assembly has passed a bill that would allow people who do not identify as either male or female to use "X" as a marker to designate their sex on drivers' licenses. 紐約州議會通過一項法案，允許認為自己既不是男性也不是女性的民眾，在駕照上標記其性別為X。 The new marker would help transgender, nonbinary and intersex individuals' identity be recognized in government documents, according to a statement from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assembly member Daniel O'Donnell. 根據州眾議院議長希斯堤和州眾議員歐唐納發出的聲明，這項新註記會有助於跨性別、非二元性別和雙性人的性別認同，獲得政府文件承認。 "The provisions in this bill will make life safer, reduce the stigma and affirm the identities for so many of our friends and neighbors," O'Donnell said in the statement. 歐唐納在聲明中說，「這項法案中的該項條文，將讓人生活更安全，減少污名，並且確認我們廣大鄉親朋友的身分認同。」 Next Article Topic: Looking Back on 100 Years of New York City Drinking Culture, From Gritty to Elegant The history of drinking in America goes straight through the heart of New York. As with so many aspects of the city, that history has run from gritty to stylish and back again. 美國的飲酒歷史直接穿越紐約的心臟，就像這座城市的許多方面一樣，這段歷史經歷了從粗獷到風雅，再回到當初的過程。 For generations, taverns and saloons were largely places for men to gather, drink, gamble and chew tobacco. Those places could be discerning, as with Fraunces Tavern, a still-existent bar patronized in the 18th century by the likes of George Washington and his soldiers, or more suited to the average Joe, like McSorley's Old Ale House, which opened in the mid-19th century and, until 1970, admitted only men. 數世代以來，酒館和酒吧大多是男人聚集、喝酒、賭博與嚼菸草的地方。這些地方可能是比較有品味的，像是18世紀喬治華盛頓和他旗下軍人經常光顧、至今依然存在的弗朗西斯酒館，也可能是更適合一般人的，像是19世紀中葉開業，且在1970年前只接待男性的麥克索利酒吧。 By the time McSorley's had opened, many American bartenders had made a a of inventing what we now think of as craft cocktails. The atmosphere at these locales was often hostile and crude.Prohibition changed all that. The idea of bars as hospitable, welcoming spaces gained traction when liquor sales became illegal. 當麥克索利開業時，許多美國酒保已具備發明現今所謂精調雞尾酒的專長。這些地方的氣氛常常是不友善而且粗魯的。 With the advent of speak-easies, owners and bartenders suddenly had a new clientele: women. The social appeal of speak-easies pulled them into new and vibrant communal spaces. Alongside the new customers came bar stools, live jazz and a new breed of cocktails. 禁酒令改變了這一切。當賣酒變成非法時，酒吧是個好客、歡迎人的場所的想法才流行起來。隨著地下酒吧的出現，業主和酒保突然有了一個新的客群：婦女。地下酒吧的社會吸引力將她們拉進新的、充滿活力的公共空間。除了新客群，還出現了酒吧高腳凳、現場爵士樂與新一代雞尾酒。 Despite the end of Prohibition in 1933, these changes to New York's drinking culture endured, opening up the cocktail scene to a broader audience. 禁酒令雖於1933年廢止，紐約飲酒文化的這些變化卻持續了下來，將雞尾酒的舞台向更廣泛的觀眾開放。 By the 1960s and into the ‘80s and ‘90s, bar culture in New York had become as varied and textured as the city itself. Cocktail bars got yet another revival at the Rainbow Room, where Dale DeGroff took over the drinks program. In the Village, the Stonewall Inn and others became centers for gay culture, while uptown venues like the Shark Bar attracted a mostly African-American clientele. 到了1960年代並進入1980和1990年代，紐約的酒吧文化已變得跟城市本身一樣多采多姿。 雞尾酒酒吧在戴爾．第格洛夫接管酒單的彩虹廳又迎來一次流行。在紐約格林威治村，石牆酒吧等處所成了同性戀文化的中心，而鯊魚酒吧等曼哈頓上城場所則吸引了以非洲裔美國人為主的客群。 Today, despite an unfortunate turnover rate, modern New York cocktail bars are doing their best to foster a sense of community and hospitality. 現今，儘管翻桌率很低，但現代的紐約雞尾酒酒吧正盡最大努力營造一種社群意識和好客氣氛。 It's this spirit that an editorial writer for The Brooklyn Eagle captured in an 1885 column (quoted by David Wondrich in his book “Imbibe”). “The modern American,” the paper observed, “looks for civility and he declines to go where rowdy instincts are rampant.” 這正是《布魯克林鷹報》一位主筆1885年在專欄中提到的精神（大衛·旺德里奇在所著《飲酒》一書中引用了這段文字）。該報評論道：「現代美國人追求文明有禮，他拒絕去那些粗暴本能猖獗的地方。」 But American bars are not by definition civil. Luckily, it's as easy to find your watering hole fit today as it was a century ago. 但從定義上說，美國酒吧並非文明的。幸運的是，今天很容易找到適合你的酒吧，跟一個世紀前一樣。Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/335069/web/

He's a construction worker from Queens who's lived in the city most of his life. He always liked reading the comics and the horoscope in The News. 就某些方面而言，肯尼．霍斯帕堪稱每日新聞報的典型讀者。他是紐約市皇后區的一個建築工人，這一生大多數時間都住在這個城市。他一向愛看該報的漫畫和星座運勢。 How long since he last bought a copy of the paper? Hospot laughed. “I would say like 15 years.” 他上一次買這份報紙是多久之前？霍斯帕笑了，「我看大概有15年了吧。」 Kamel Brown is another archetypal customer for New York's Hometown Newspaper, as The Daily News styles itself. He's a maintenance worker for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. He's 55 years old. He grew up buying the paper for his grandmother in Brooklyn. “When she was finished reading it, I'd pick it up, flip back and start with the sports,” Brown said. 對於自我定位為紐約家鄉報紙的每日新聞報，凱默．布朗是另一種典型讀者。他是都市交通局的維修工人，55歲。他在布魯克林區的成長過程中，常幫祖母買這份報紙。布朗說：「她看完後，我會拿過來，翻回去，從運動版開始看。」 He doesn't remember the last time he bought it. When he paged through a copy at a friend's home this past week, he was unimpressed. 他不記得上次買這份報紙是何時。過去這一周的某日他在友人家翻閱一分報紙時，很無感。 Tristan Dominguez, on the other hand, is still a big Daily News fan. “It's the only place you see anything local,” Dominguez said at a bodega in Washington Heights, where a stack of papers sat behind the counter. 另一方面，崔斯坦．多明奎茲仍是新聞報的大粉絲。「這是你唯一能看到在地新聞的地方。」多明奎茲在華盛頓高地的一家雜貨店內說，櫃檯後方有一大疊報紙。 He reads the paper mostly online and through Twitter. 他大多數是上網或透過推特看這份報紙。 All of this helps explain why there was an air of inevitability about the news Monday that the organization was laying off half its editorial staff. 這些例子亦可說明，當這家報社決定資遣編輯部一半員工的消息周一（7月23日）傳出時，為何外界會覺得此事似難避免。 Once upon a time, The Daily News sold more than 2 million papers a day. Now its circulation is only about a tenth of that, and the paper's non-hometown owner, the Chicago-based media company Tronc, which bought the paper in 2017, does not have the patience for non-profitability that the prior owner, Mort Zuckerman, did. 每日新聞報曾經一天賣出200萬分以上，現在發行量大約只剩十分之一。這家報社的非在地老闆、芝加哥的媒體公司Tronc，2017年買下每日新聞報，對於它未能獲利，並沒有前任老闆莫特．札克曼那般的耐性。 At a cultural moment when the very idea of New York City as a hometown is quickly dissolving, and when most people get their news from some sort of glowing screen, the thirst for local ink is not what it used to be. 在當下這個文化時刻，將紐約市當作家鄉的想法正在快速瓦解，而且大多數人是從某種閃爍的螢幕獲得新聞，對於在地新聞文字報導的渴求已不如以往。 And those who do crave hard-hitting coverage that holds officials accountable for the state of the city were not pleased to hear about the layoffs. 對於那些渴望看到逼官員為城市現況負起責任的強烈抨擊報導的人，聽到前述資遣消息並非樂事。 “You need those old-school people because they know what they're doing,” Rosanne Nunziata, a manager at the New Apollo Diner in downtown Brooklyn, said of The Daily News' staff of veteran shoe-leather reporters, many of whom are now pounding the pavement in search of employment. “They know how to sneak in and get their stories, and know how to get witnesses to talk and do their thing.” 布魯克林鬧區「新阿波羅餐館」經理羅珊娜．努齊亞塔說：「你需要這些老派人士，因為他們知道自己在做什麼。」她指的是新聞報本分且資深的記者，這些人中有不少正在路上奔走著找工作。「他們知道如何潛入並取得新聞，也知道如何讓目擊者開口，做好他們的工作。」 The New York Post, The Daily News' longtime rival for tabloid dominance, has seen its circulation plummet, too. Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns The Post, has long tolerated the paper's unprofitability, but there may come a time when his successors have far less stomach for red ink. 每日新聞報的長期對手，爭奪八卦小報霸主地位的紐約郵報，發行量也持續大跌。擁有紐約郵報的新聞集團老闆魯柏．梅鐸，長期容忍這家報紙未能獲利。但是也許有一天，他的接班人對赤字的容忍度會小得多。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/330084/web/ Next Article Topic: Dumplings tempt New Yorkers with pizza, peanut butter flavors - and no human contact New Yorkers can now get their dumpling fix from an automat with no human contact, and the adventurous can order flavors ranging from pepperoni pizza to peanut butter and jelly. 紐約客現在可由一套不需要與人接觸的自動販賣機為他們料理餃子，喜歡嘗試新鮮的人可從義式臘腸披薩到花生醬、果醬等口味中選購。 While the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop in the city's East Village offers traditional pork and chicken bite-sized treats, chicken parm or Philly cheesesteak are also on the menu. 位於這座城市東村的布魯克林餃子店，提供一口大小的傳統豬肉、雞肉餡點心，菜單上也有焗烤雞肉，或是費城牛肉起司三明治。 Spurred by the pandemic and technology advances, the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is delivering food via automat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 在這場疫情以及科技進步的帶動下，布魯克林餃子店正透過自動販賣機，全年無休24小時出餐。 "Embrace technology, because technology is something that has to be embraced by hospitality（business）to thrive," said the shop's owner Stratis Morfogen. 「擁抱科技，因為餐旅（業）要蒸蒸日上，就得擁抱科技」，店老闆史特拉狄斯．摩佛根說。 Next Article Topic: New York lawmakers pass bill allowing gender-neutral "X" option in govt documents 紐約州議員通過法案 允許政府文件中可選擇中立性別「X」 The New York state assembly has passed a bill that would allow people who do not identify as either male or female to use "X" as a marker to designate their sex on drivers' licenses. 紐約州議會通過一項法案，允許認為自己既不是男性也不是女性的民眾，在駕照上標記其性別為X。 The new marker would help transgender, nonbinary and intersex individuals' identity be recognized in government documents, according to a statement from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assembly member Daniel O'Donnell. 根據州眾議院議長希斯堤和州眾議員歐唐納發出的聲明，這項新註記會有助於跨性別、非二元性別和雙性人的性別認同，獲得政府文件承認。 "The provisions in this bill will make life safer, reduce the stigma and affirm the identities for so many of our friends and neighbors," O'Donnell said in the statement. 歐唐納在聲明中說，「這項法案中的該項條文，將讓人生活更安全，減少污名，並且確認我們廣大鄉親朋友的身分認同。」 Next Article Topic: Looking Back on 100 Years of New York City Drinking Culture, From Gritty to Elegant The history of drinking in America goes straight through the heart of New York. As with so many aspects of the city, that history has run from gritty to stylish and back again. 美國的飲酒歷史直接穿越紐約的心臟，就像這座城市的許多方面一樣，這段歷史經歷了從粗獷到風雅，再回到當初的過程。 For generations, taverns and saloons were largely places for men to gather, drink, gamble and chew tobacco. Those places could be discerning, as with Fraunces Tavern, a still-existent bar patronized in the 18th century by the likes of George Washington and his soldiers, or more suited to the average Joe, like McSorley's Old Ale House, which opened in the mid-19th century and, until 1970, admitted only men. 數世代以來，酒館和酒吧大多是男人聚集、喝酒、賭博與嚼菸草的地方。這些地方可能是比較有品味的，像是18世紀喬治華盛頓和他旗下軍人經常光顧、至今依然存在的弗朗西斯酒館，也可能是更適合一般人的，像是19世紀中葉開業，且在1970年前只接待男性的麥克索利酒吧。 By the time McSorley's had opened, many American bartenders had made a a of inventing what we now think of as craft cocktails. The atmosphere at these locales was often hostile and crude.Prohibition changed all that. The idea of bars as hospitable, welcoming spaces gained traction when liquor sales became illegal. 當麥克索利開業時，許多美國酒保已具備發明現今所謂精調雞尾酒的專長。這些地方的氣氛常常是不友善而且粗魯的。 With the advent of speak-easies, owners and bartenders suddenly had a new clientele: women. The social appeal of speak-easies pulled them into new and vibrant communal spaces. Alongside the new customers came bar stools, live jazz and a new breed of cocktails. 禁酒令改變了這一切。當賣酒變成非法時，酒吧是個好客、歡迎人的場所的想法才流行起來。隨著地下酒吧的出現，業主和酒保突然有了一個新的客群：婦女。地下酒吧的社會吸引力將她們拉進新的、充滿活力的公共空間。除了新客群，還出現了酒吧高腳凳、現場爵士樂與新一代雞尾酒。 Despite the end of Prohibition in 1933, these changes to New York's drinking culture endured, opening up the cocktail scene to a broader audience. 禁酒令雖於1933年廢止，紐約飲酒文化的這些變化卻持續了下來，將雞尾酒的舞台向更廣泛的觀眾開放。 By the 1960s and into the ‘80s and ‘90s, bar culture in New York had become as varied and textured as the city itself. Cocktail bars got yet another revival at the Rainbow Room, where Dale DeGroff took over the drinks program. In the Village, the Stonewall Inn and others became centers for gay culture, while uptown venues like the Shark Bar attracted a mostly African-American clientele. 到了1960年代並進入1980和1990年代，紐約的酒吧文化已變得跟城市本身一樣多采多姿。 雞尾酒酒吧在戴爾．第格洛夫接管酒單的彩虹廳又迎來一次流行。在紐約格林威治村，石牆酒吧等處所成了同性戀文化的中心，而鯊魚酒吧等曼哈頓上城場所則吸引了以非洲裔美國人為主的客群。 Today, despite an unfortunate turnover rate, modern New York cocktail bars are doing their best to foster a sense of community and hospitality. 現今，儘管翻桌率很低，但現代的紐約雞尾酒酒吧正盡最大努力營造一種社群意識和好客氣氛。 It's this spirit that an editorial writer for The Brooklyn Eagle captured in an 1885 column (quoted by David Wondrich in his book “Imbibe”). “The modern American,” the paper observed, “looks for civility and he declines to go where rowdy instincts are rampant.” 這正是《布魯克林鷹報》一位主筆1885年在專欄中提到的精神（大衛·旺德里奇在所著《飲酒》一書中引用了這段文字）。該報評論道：「現代美國人追求文明有禮，他拒絕去那些粗暴本能猖獗的地方。」 But American bars are not by definition civil. Luckily, it's as easy to find your watering hole fit today as it was a century ago. 但從定義上說，美國酒吧並非文明的。幸運的是，今天很容易找到適合你的酒吧，跟一個世紀前一樣。Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/335069/web/

It is a truism that Lower Manhattan has been America's town square since its founding in 1524, even though its history is much deeper. Virtually every aspect of global, local and national significance can be in some manner traced to this Downtown stage. Some have been forgotten and some have been transformative in our culture and many have fallen between. It Happened Here captures the multiple and overlapping stories that are woven throughout our city's life. It embraces America's history as the museums, monuments and memorials that dot its streetscape do. It highlights many of the concerns, events and places that the people who lived, fought, worked and visited here thought were important at their moment in time. The July 4, 2023 program at Fraunces Tavern Museum was the first of many prequels to the United States' upcoming 250th birthday and a 4-day It Happened Here celebration the weekend of July 4, 2025 and included speakers on the following topics: Fraunces Tavern: Its Revolutionary Story; The Birch Trials at Fraunces Tavern; the New York City Revolutionary Trail by The Gotham Center for New York City History; George Washington's First Command; Alexander Hamilton; Revolutionary Forebears; It Happened Here.

On Monday, January 23, 2023, SRNY commemorated the birthday of Frederick Samuel Tallmadge, the second President of the Sons of the Revolution℠ in the State of New York, Inc., whose generosity enabled the Society to acquire Fraunces Tavern in 1904. Our speaker was Alyssa Loorya, Ph.D., RPA, founder and president of Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants, who received her Ph.D. in 2018 from the CUNY Graduate Center. Chrysalis Archaeological Consultants is a cultural resource management company in New York City that researches, excavates, and analyzes sites to assess their historical or archaeological impact. Since opening in 2001, the company has worked on hundreds of projects, including some which uncovered artifacts relating to the Revolutionary War. Alyssa presented “Revolutionary New York: An Archaeological Perspective”.

On January 24, 1975, terrorists bombed the Fraunces Tavern in lower Manhattan. Joe Conner's father was one of the 4 people murdered that day. This is his story and how the terrorists were ultimately granted clemency, and released from prison. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/flavio-romeo/message

Now its circulation is only about a tenth of that, and the paper's non-hometown owner, the Chicago-based media company Tronc, which bought the paper in 2017, does not have the patience for non-profitability that the prior owner, Mort Zuckerman, did. 每日新聞報曾經一天賣出200萬分以上，現在發行量大約只剩十分之一。這家報社的非在地老闆、芝加哥的媒體公司Tronc，2017年買下每日新聞報，對於它未能獲利，並沒有前任老闆莫特．札克曼那般的耐性。 At a cultural moment when the very idea of New York City as a hometown is quickly dissolving, and when most people get their news from some sort of glowing screen, the thirst for local ink is not what it used to be. 在當下這個文化時刻，將紐約市當作家鄉的想法正在快速瓦解，而且大多數人是從某種閃爍的螢幕獲得新聞，對於在地新聞文字報導的渴求已不如以往。 And those who do crave hard-hitting coverage that holds officials accountable for the state of the city were not pleased to hear about the layoffs. 對於那些渴望看到逼官員為城市現況負起責任的強烈抨擊報導的人，聽到前述資遣消息並非樂事。 “You need those old-school people because they know what they're doing,” Rosanne Nunziata, a manager at the New Apollo Diner in downtown Brooklyn, said of The Daily News' staff of veteran shoe-leather reporters, many of whom are now pounding the pavement in search of employment. “They know how to sneak in and get their stories, and know how to get witnesses to talk and do their thing.” 布魯克林鬧區「新阿波羅餐館」經理羅珊娜．努齊亞塔說：「你需要這些老派人士，因為他們知道自己在做什麼。」她指的是新聞報本分且資深的記者，這些人中有不少正在路上奔走著找工作。「他們知道如何潛入並取得新聞，也知道如何讓目擊者開口，做好他們的工作。」 The New York Post, The Daily News' longtime rival for tabloid dominance, has seen its circulation plummet, too. Rupert Murdoch, whose News Corp. owns The Post, has long tolerated the paper's unprofitability, but there may come a time when his successors have far less stomach for red ink. 每日新聞報的長期對手，爭奪八卦小報霸主地位的紐約郵報，發行量也持續大跌。擁有紐約郵報的新聞集團老闆魯柏．梅鐸，長期容忍這家報紙未能獲利。但是也許有一天，他的接班人對赤字的容忍度會小得多。 Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/330084/web/   Next Article   Topic: Dumplings tempt New Yorkers with pizza, peanut butter flavors - and no human contact New Yorkers can now get their dumpling fix from an automat with no human contact, and the adventurous can order flavors ranging from pepperoni pizza to peanut butter and jelly. 紐約客現在可由一套不需要與人接觸的自動販賣機為他們料理餃子，喜歡嘗試新鮮的人可從義式臘腸披薩到花生醬、果醬等口味中選購。 While the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop in the city's East Village offers traditional pork and chicken bite-sized treats, chicken parm or Philly cheesesteak are also on the menu. 位於這座城市東村的布魯克林餃子店，提供一口大小的傳統豬肉、雞肉餡點心，菜單上也有焗烤雞肉，或是費城牛肉起司三明治。 Spurred by the pandemic and technology advances, the Brooklyn Dumpling Shop is delivering food via automat 24 hours a day, seven days a week. 在這場疫情以及科技進步的帶動下，布魯克林餃子店正透過自動販賣機，全年無休24小時出餐。 "Embrace technology, because technology is something that has to be embraced by hospitality（business）to thrive," said the shop's owner Stratis Morfogen. 「擁抱科技，因為餐旅（業）要蒸蒸日上，就得擁抱科技」，店老闆史特拉狄斯．摩佛根說。   Next Article   Topic: New York lawmakers pass bill allowing gender-neutral "X" option in govt documents 紐約州議員通過法案 允許政府文件中可選擇中立性別「X」   The New York state assembly has passed a bill that would allow people who do not identify as either male or female to use "X" as a marker to designate their sex on drivers' licenses. 紐約州議會通過一項法案，允許認為自己既不是男性也不是女性的民眾，在駕照上標記其性別為X。 The new marker would help transgender, nonbinary and intersex individuals' identity be recognized in government documents, according to a statement from Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie and Assembly member Daniel O'Donnell. 根據州眾議院議長希斯堤和州眾議員歐唐納發出的聲明，這項新註記會有助於跨性別、非二元性別和雙性人的性別認同，獲得政府文件承認。 "The provisions in this bill will make life safer, reduce the stigma and affirm the identities for so many of our friends and neighbors," O'Donnell said in the statement. 歐唐納在聲明中說，「這項法案中的該項條文，將讓人生活更安全，減少污名，並且確認我們廣大鄉親朋友的身分認同。」   Next Article   Topic: Looking Back on 100 Years of New York City Drinking Culture, From Gritty to Elegant   The history of drinking in America goes straight through the heart of New York. As with so many aspects of the city, that history has run from gritty to stylish and back again. 美國的飲酒歷史直接穿越紐約的心臟，就像這座城市的許多方面一樣，這段歷史經歷了從粗獷到風雅，再回到當初的過程。 For generations, taverns and saloons were largely places for men to gather, drink, gamble and chew tobacco. Those places could be discerning, as with Fraunces Tavern, a still-existent bar patronized in the 18th century by the likes of George Washington and his soldiers, or more suited to the average Joe, like McSorley's Old Ale House, which opened in the mid-19th century and, until 1970, admitted only men. 數世代以來，酒館和酒吧大多是男人聚集、喝酒、賭博與嚼菸草的地方。這些地方可能是比較有品味的，像是18世紀喬治華盛頓和他旗下軍人經常光顧、至今依然存在的弗朗西斯酒館，也可能是更適合一般人的，像是19世紀中葉開業，且在1970年前只接待男性的麥克索利酒吧。 By the time McSorley's had opened, many American bartenders had made a a of inventing what we now think of as craft cocktails. The atmosphere at these locales was often hostile and crude.Prohibition changed all that. The idea of bars as hospitable, welcoming spaces gained traction when liquor sales became illegal. 當麥克索利開業時，許多美國酒保已具備發明現今所謂精調雞尾酒的專長。這些地方的氣氛常常是不友善而且粗魯的。 With the advent of speak-easies, owners and bartenders suddenly had a new clientele: women. The social appeal of speak-easies pulled them into new and vibrant communal spaces. Alongside the new customers came bar stools, live jazz and a new breed of cocktails. 禁酒令改變了這一切。當賣酒變成非法時，酒吧是個好客、歡迎人的場所的想法才流行起來。隨著地下酒吧的出現，業主和酒保突然有了一個新的客群：婦女。地下酒吧的社會吸引力將她們拉進新的、充滿活力的公共空間。除了新客群，還出現了酒吧高腳凳、現場爵士樂與新一代雞尾酒。 Despite the end of Prohibition in 1933, these changes to New York's drinking culture endured, opening up the cocktail scene to a broader audience. 禁酒令雖於1933年廢止，紐約飲酒文化的這些變化卻持續了下來，將雞尾酒的舞台向更廣泛的觀眾開放。 By the 1960s and into the ‘80s and ‘90s, bar culture in New York had become as varied and textured as the city itself. Cocktail bars got yet another revival at the Rainbow Room, where Dale DeGroff took over the drinks program. In the Village, the Stonewall Inn and others became centers for gay culture, while uptown venues like the Shark Bar attracted a mostly African-American clientele. 到了1960年代並進入1980和1990年代，紐約的酒吧文化已變得跟城市本身一樣多采多姿。 雞尾酒酒吧在戴爾．第格洛夫接管酒單的彩虹廳又迎來一次流行。在紐約格林威治村，石牆酒吧等處所成了同性戀文化的中心，而鯊魚酒吧等曼哈頓上城場所則吸引了以非洲裔美國人為主的客群。 Today, despite an unfortunate turnover rate, modern New York cocktail bars are doing their best to foster a sense of community and hospitality. 現今，儘管翻桌率很低，但現代的紐約雞尾酒酒吧正盡最大努力營造一種社群意識和好客氣氛。 It's this spirit that an editorial writer for The Brooklyn Eagle captured in an 1885 column (quoted by David Wondrich in his book “Imbibe”). “The modern American,” the paper observed, “looks for civility and he declines to go where rowdy instincts are rampant.” 這正是《布魯克林鷹報》一位主筆1885年在專欄中提到的精神（大衛·旺德里奇在所著《飲酒》一書中引用了這段文字）。該報評論道：「現代美國人追求文明有禮，他拒絕去那些粗暴本能猖獗的地方。」 But American bars are not by definition civil. Luckily, it's as easy to find your watering hole fit today as it was a century ago. 但從定義上說，美國酒吧並非文明的。幸運的是，今天很容易找到適合你的酒吧，跟一個世紀前一樣。Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/335069/web/

Rob Orrison of Emerging Revolutionary War discusses colonial taverns with Stacey Fraser from the Buckman Tavern in Lexington, Massachusetts, Sarah Kneeshaw from Fraunces Tavern in New York City, and Liz Williams from Gadsby's Tavern in Alexandria, Virginia.

Oscar Lopez Rivera led the Armed Forces for National Liberation of Puerto Rico in the 1970s. The group carried out numerous terror activities in the U.S., including the bombing of the Fraunces Tavern in New York which killed four. One was the father of our guest, Joseph Connor, the author of the book “Shattered Lives.” Rivera was sentenced to a total of 70 years in federal prison, but President Obama let him out on his last day in office, claiming he was merely a political prisoner, not a terrorist. Another leader, William Morales, escaped prison and is now being protected in Cuba. To avenge his father's death, Connor continues to push his extradition back to the U.S.Support Hidden Truth Show by going to http://www.patreon.com/hiddentruthshow and pledging just $5/month and receive access to Jim and special content and a Hidden Truth cap!Website: http://www.hiddentruthshow.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/hiddentruthshowInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/hiddentruthshow

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here's what happened on December 4th. So far at least, the historic New York City bar Fraunces Tavern has survived the pandemic. It's been a beloved watering hole since even before this day in 1783, when it famously became the site of George Washington's farewell to his Continental Army officers.

Hello, and welcome to This Day in History. Here’s what happened on December 4th. So far at least, the historic New York City bar Fraunces Tavern has survived the pandemic. It’s been a beloved watering hole since even before this day in 1783, when it famously became the site of George Washington’s farewell to his Continental Army officers.

This episode of Tavern Talks revisits a conversation between Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli and Dan Shippey, who plays George Washington in Fraunces Tavern Museum's first-ever film, Washington's Farewell, premiering Friday, December 4, 2020 at 6:30pm.

Hosts Allie Delyanis and Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli delve into Fraunces Tavern's most recent paranormal investigation and detail their findings.

Preserving the Past is a digital lecture that takes a comprehensive look at the architecture, design, and history of 54 Pearl Street, one of the oldest buildings in New York City. Led by Museum historian Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli, the lecture explores three hundred years of the building’s history – from its early construction on some of the city’s oldest landfill, to the extensive restoration in the 20th century, to how the building continues to survive surrounded by skyscrapers.

Fraunces Tavern is one of America’s most important historical sites of the Revolutionary War and a reminder of the great importance of taverns on the New York way of life during the Colonial era. This revered building at the corner of Pearl and Broad street was the location of George Washington‘s farewell address to his Continental Army officers and one of the first government buildings of the young United States of America. John Jay and Alexander Hamilton both used Fraunces as an office. As with many places connected to the country’s birth — where fact and legend intermingle — many mysteries still remain. Was the tavern owner Samuel Fraunces one of America’s first great black patriots? Did Samuel use his position here to spy upon the British during the years of occupation between 1776 and 1783? Was his daughter on hand to prevent an assassination attempt on the life of George Washington? And is it possible that the basement of Fraunces Tavern could have once housed a dungeon? ALSO: Learn about the two deadly attacks on Fraunces Tavern — one by a British war vessel in the 1770s, and another, more violent act of terror that occurred in its doorway 200 years later! PLUS: Where to find the ruins of Lovelace's Tavern, dating back to the days of New Amsterdam. boweryboyshistory.com frauncestavernmuseum.org This is a re-presentation of a show originally released on March 18, 2011 with new 2020 bonus material recorded for this episode.  Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/boweryboys See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Historian and lawyer James Kaplan discusses the history of Fraunces Tavern, the former headquarters of the United States government. Now a museum, Fraunces Tavern was once the De Lancey House. Oliver De Lancey, a loyalist in the American Revolution, eloped with Phila Franks, daughter of Jacob Franks and Abigail Levy, who were leaders in the Shearith Israel Congregation.

Allie Delyanis & Mary Tsaltas-Ottomanelli use songs from the musical Hamilton to detail the events leading up to the duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton, as well as their connection with the historic Fraunces Tavern.

American History resonates throughout Fraunces Tavern. Sons of Liberty plotted our Revolutionary War. Then at its end, George Washington bid his troops farewell here. In fact, our leader gave this brief speech in the very Long Room shown in my video below. There’s no other place like this in the world. Downstairs remains a tavern. Come get a drink or lunch. John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson all ate here. So, you’ll be in historically fantastic company.

The Bucket List: Beer1000 Adventures, Pubs, Breweries, FestivalsBy Justin Kennedy Intro: Welcome to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book, with Suzy Chase. She's just a home cook in New York City, sitting at her dining room table, talking to cookbook authors.Justin Kennedy: I'm Justin Kennedy, and my latest book is The Bucket List Beer.Suzy Chase: Whether you're planning a pub crawl, a weekend in the country or a long vacation, this book is chock-full of ideas for exploring the world's best beer destinations. I have to call attention to how comprehensive this book is. Over 400 pages, it's so heavy.Suzy Chase: You list 1,000 of the best beer experiences around the world, so what's your background in beer and where did you begin to dig into this beer exploration?Justin Kennedy: My background in beer probably predates my college days, unfortunately, but, in college, I really started getting interested in beer and maybe beyond your usual sneaking your dad's six packs or whatever, but I started really getting into beer when I went to grad school in Cleveland, Ohio, and there was a bar around the corner called Le Cave De Vin which... it's a weird little bar that opened... I think it's... It opened at eight o'clock and stayed open until about 4:00 in the morning, and there was this subterranean space that had all these crazy nooks and crannies, and there was vintage beer and fresh beer from local breweries, and I was just amazed by all the different stuff that was going on.Justin Kennedy: After that, I moved to Washington, D.C., and it's another great beer-drinking town with a lot of great bars, at the time, not a lot of breweries, but it was a good place to get into beer, and I started writing about beer when I was living there, freelancing for the Washington City Paper, which is an all-weekly that came out, a free little paper, and I was covering beer for that, and then I moved to New York about a decade ago, and I enrolled at... in the NYU food studies program and, from there, I started traveling a lot and writing more and more about beer as a real thing, so that's my background in beer exploration.Suzy Chase: You mentioned vintage beer. What's that?Justin Kennedy: Vintage beer is beer that's aged somewhat. It can be aged for a few months. It could be aged years. It could even be aged decades. Typically, it's aged in a bottle. It's aged on purpose most of the time, but sometimes there's vintage beer that's discovered in the back of someone's closet or something like that, and then not all beer is meant to... I would say 99.9% of beer is meant to be consumed fresh, but vintage beer is beer that has some kind of characteristic, either high alcohol or high acidity or something like that that can preserve it for a long period of time.Suzy Chase: I've never heard of that, so talk about the numbers of breweries in the United States now.Justin Kennedy: The early 1900s, there were about 2,000 breweries in the US, and that number slowly declined up until Prohibition and, for 13 years, we had no breweries at all, and then, after Prohibition, people started making beer again, but there were only about 700 breweries, and then, from post-Prohibition up until 1979, it slowly declined until the number dropped to 89 in 1979, so there were fewer than 90 breweries in the entire country, and then, in 1979, Jimmy Carter repealed the ban on homebrewing, and that got a lot of people interested in making beer themselves, which then meant they were taking their hobbies and making them a profession, so, between 1979 and then the mid-'90s, it got up to about 1,500 breweries. From the mid-'90s until now, it's more than tripled, and the number today is 7,000 breweries.Suzy Chase: In terms of styles, let's say German-style beer, can you get that in the Midwest? Can you get that everywhere?Justin Kennedy: You can get pretty much any style of beer anywhere. A good example of a German-style brewery in the Midwest is a very called Urban Chestnut, which is in St. Louis, and they make some of the best German-style lagers in the country, and it's the type of beer I would put up against any actual German beer. It's really that good.Suzy Chase: I love that in each description you state why this pick is important. Why did you include that?Justin Kennedy: I think we wanted to highlight why each entry was in here in the first place. It's a thousand small entries. They're short descriptions, but we really wanted to highlight why this place is better than the other places in its region.Suzy Chase: Let's go over some terminology. What's the difference between microbrewery, craft brewery, and a brewpub?Justin Kennedy: This is a little bit of a gray area, but most of those terms are defined by the Brewers Association, which is the craft brewers sponsor agency or whatever you want to call it, so, a microbrewery... It's all based on production numbers. A microbrewery makes a certain number of beers. I think it's 100,000 barrels or less, something like that. A craft brewery is defined as an independent brewery that doesn't have much outside investment, so a good example for a brewery that used to be a craft brewery and is not anymore is something like Goose Island, which got acquired by Anheuser-Busch a few years ago, and then brewpub is, strictly speaking, a brewery that's on-premise at a restaurant, so it serves food and it makes beer under the same roof.Suzy Chase: When beers like Goose Island get acquired, does the quality go down?Justin Kennedy: That's a really good question. In some ways, the quality is improved because it's more consistent, but a lot of the character is washed away from that, so it's hard to say. I think the reputation definitely is somewhat lowered, but it's a tough call, and there's been a lot of these acquisitions over the last few years mainly by Anheuser-Busch, but also by some other companies. MillerCoors has a couple.Suzy Chase: Can or bottle?Justin Kennedy: For me, a majority of beers I like in a can, but a few beers I just can't drink from a can like traditional Belgian ale. Saisons, Trippels, things like that I think have to be in a bottle.Suzy Chase: Same here. I feel like the can is colder.Justin Kennedy: Yeah, that's one thing. It does get colder. It feels colder. It feels better in your hand. It's easier to recycle. It's lighter. I do a lot of bikepacking and camping, and it's easier to transport that stuff than bottles.Suzy Chase: Yeah, I love Saison Dupont, and I would never think of drinking that in a can.Justin Kennedy: Same. A lot of those beers have... They've tried to put them into cans, and even like Rodenbach is now available in cans, and I just think it's not the same.Suzy Chase: I wanted to chat about a couple of spots in this book. First is McSorley's, the oldest Irish tavern in New York City. They have two beers on tap, dark and light, and it was a men's-only establishment up until 1970 when Barbara Shaum, owner of a leather goods store right down the street, sauntered in for the first time. Talk a little bit about McSorley's.Justin Kennedy: Yeah, it's this traditional Irish tavern along East-7th Street between 2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue, and it's just a storied place that's... It's weathered. It really looks haggard, but it's also like one of the coolest places to drink. Instead of a single beer, you're served two mugs, two eight-ounce mugs, which I think is really a cool, quirky little thing. There's a great cheese and onions plate that they serve. That's strange, but also just fits in perfectly, and it's like this touristy spot, but also has some real history to it. It was one of my favorite places and the first... one of the first places I drank when I moved to New York 10 years ago.Suzy Chase: It's funny, because I moved to New York in '96 to do cookbook publicity, and I was looking around for an apartment, and my real estate agent showed us apartments, and then he said, "We have to go to McSorley's," and I was like, "What?" It was awesome.Justin Kennedy: Everybody loves it. It's one of those places that brings everyone together. It's not just a certain type of clientele. Everybody goes to McSorley's, and it's awesome.Suzy Chase: You also include the Blind Tiger Ale House, one of New York's first craft pubs, which was on Hudson and West-10th for years and years, and now it's on Bleecker. The space to me doesn't feel right because, over on West-10th, there's a Starbucks where the old Blind Tiger used to be, but the new place just doesn't feel right to me.Justin Kennedy: I'm sorry to hear that. When I moved to New York, the Tiger had already moved, so I had never been to the original spot. The new spot, it's just consistently a great place to drink. They always have some of the newest beers that are available in town, and they also have this deep cellar of vintage beers and other special kegs that they put on pretty much every week, so, every time you go in there, you're bound to find something new and also something really special, and I think it's evidenced by their regulars. They have a huge regular crowd there, and it's a gathering place for a certain beer geek of a certain age in New York City.Suzy Chase: My husband and all of his squash friends that play squash go there.Justin Kennedy: That's great. To me, the Tiger is one of those places where everybody goes. I started going there because I was going to NYU and it was right down the street, and we would gather there and it was just... It's an awesome place to drink.Suzy Chase: Now to Fraunces Tavern, way downtown in New York City, can you share the George Washington story?Justin Kennedy: Sure, so Fraunces Tavern is way down the tip of southern Manhattan. It's one of the oldest buildings in the city, and it was a tavern and a... It's like a restaurant-and-inn type of place, and, as the story goes, I think it was in 1783, George Washington was hosting a dinner for his officers of the Continental Army, and they were having what was called a turtle feast, so it was a dinner that was based around lots of turtle dishes, and it's a legendary spot, and it's where he said farewell to his officers of the Continental Army, and so now it has this. It has a museum. It has a Tavern, and there's even a brewery that's associated with it called the Porterhouse Brewing Company, which is, oddly enough, actually based in Ireland, but it's their outpost, their American outpost for their beer now.Suzy Chase: I didn't know that.Justin Kennedy: Yeah, it's a very strange setup.Suzy Chase: Yeah, I'm part of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and we used to have our DAR meetings down there, and I would always...Justin Kennedy: Cool.Suzy Chase: ... sit and think, "Did George Washington sit here and drink or did he sit over here and drink?"Justin Kennedy: I mean, it's a great place to drink, too, because it has a huge whiskey selection. It's on the Whiskey Trail. It's a really cool bar, but the Brewery Association is... It's a little bit of a head-scratcher, but I think it's an ownership thing.Suzy Chase: Lots of good beers coming out of the Midwest. Talk about Boulevard beer in Kansas City, my favorite.Justin Kennedy: All right, so Boulevard is one of the original Midwestern craft breweries. It was founded in the late '80s, and it makes some of the most totally reliable, what I call crushable beer, so beers that are easy to drink, but they also have this line of really interesting barrel-aged beers like Tank 7 Saison, which is one of my favorites, and the brewery is actually... Speaking of acquisitions, it was actually sold to Duvel Moortgat, which is a Belgian company, a few years ago and is now part of this umbrella company that includes Ommegang here in New York up in the Finger Lakes and also Firestone Walker in California.Suzy Chase: I know. I'm kind of bummed that they got acquired, but good for them.Justin Kennedy: To me, that's one example of a brewery that has... The quality has not gone downhill since acquisition. They've continued to do the same cool stuff.Suzy Chase: Prairie Artisan Ales is out of Tulsa. I love them, too. Describe the crazy Bomb! Imperial stout.Justin Kennedy: Bomb! is... It started off as a specialty release, and now I think it's year-round, but it's this huge Imperial stout. I think it's about 12 or 14% alcohol. It has all kinds of ingredients added to it, spices, cinnamon, I think even chili peppers, and it's just this big, thick, viscous beer, and they have a few different iterations that are sold throughout the year, including Christmas Bomb!, which is one of my favorites, and it comes into this short little stubby bottle, and it has a really funny artwork on it.Suzy Chase: See, my problem with the 12 or 13% alcohol is you can't drink that many.Justin Kennedy: Now, it's a sipping beer, so, I think, a few ounces, even a small bottle like that, you're supposed to share with friends.Suzy Chase: Oh, no one told me that. That's good to know. Oregon seems like a good beer-drinking state. Talk about them, how do you pronounce it, LABrewatory...Justin Kennedy: LABrewatory I think is how you say it.Suzy Chase: ... in Portland.Justin Kennedy: Yeah, so LABrewatory is a nanobrewery, which is they're making beer on a keg-by-keg basis, so it's really small production, and they're also known for never making the same beer twice, so each batch is different. It's maybe not necessarily a new beer, but it's... It has a different hop and a different yeast strain or something like that, but it's a small brewpub in Portland, and, you're right, Oregon is by far one of the best states, if not the best, beer-drinking states in the country right now and has been for a long time.Suzy Chase: Now to outside of the United States, describe the fermented maize beverage, how it's made and where you drink it.Justin Kennedy: All right, so I think you're referring to chicha, which is fermented blue maize that's a specialty of Peru and a couple of other parts of South America, and, traditionally, it's chewed by humans. The maize is chewed and then spit into these communal vats like little balls, and it's said that an enzyme that's in human saliva is what activates the maize and makes it... convert it to fermentable sugars, so it's not really a commercially available thing, but what you can do is, if you're visiting especially like a touristy area like Machu Picchu, there's these houses that have red flags or flowers lining the area outside, and, typically, these are what are known as chicha bars, but they're not really open to the public, so you'll probably need a local guide to help you get in. It's like going into someone's house and drinking what they've made, the home brew that they've made straight from their tanks, and, what I've been told, it doesn't really taste like beer at all. It's more like a cold corn soup.Suzy Chase: No, thanks. No. No. No.Justin Kennedy: Yeah, it's a little strange.Suzy Chase: That's gross. Is that the grossest beer you know of in the book?Justin Kennedy: That's probably the gross beer right now I feel.Suzy Chase: The Middle East section really piqued my interest. You call the Birzeit Brewery, or Shepherds Brewery, which is north of Ramallah, Palestine, one of the Middle East's most exciting breweries. How come?Justin Kennedy: I think, there's not a lot of breweries in the Middle East in general, and this is one that's really doing modern craft beers there. They have modern technology. They're making pilsners, lagers and other things, but they're also doing beers like stout with coffee, and they do a Christmas ale that's infused with cinnamon, so they're really doing what I think of as more modern styles rather than just your traditional pale ale and blonde ale and all that stuff, and they also do what's become this kind of big beer festival. It's a two-day fest, which is one of the only beer festivals that I know of in the Middle East.Suzy Chase: The term African Guinness caught my eye. What's that?Justin Kennedy: It's very different than the Guinness that we know from our local Irish pub. It's really boozy. It's about twice the alcohol content of regular Guinness, and it's also made with sorghum and corn, so it has this bitterness, but also has a real smooth mouth feel, so it's like high ABV stout, and it's not nitrogenated like the Guinness that we have here as. It's like a totally different beverage, but it was originally brewed to be exported to these countries, to Africa and also to some parts of the Caribbean here, and it's just this big, boozy stout that you wouldn't think of as being very thirst-quenching in these hot regions, but that's why the... The exporting is why it was originally sent there.Suzy Chase: Over in Tokyo, they have karaoke haunts and record bars. Describe those.Justin Kennedy: Record bar is like stepping into someone's house. There's typically only one or two people that work there, and it's your bartender who's also your DJ, and they spin records, the actual vinyl, and they can get really niched. I mean, some of them are jazz and blues bars, but others only play hiphop from 1986 to 1989 or something like that, and then there's others that focus on a certain subgenre of heavy metal or something, so there are all these kind of really niched places, and they typically serve one or two beers, and it's really about the experience. With the cover charge, it's a small operation, and you're supporting one or two people. It's a really cool, unique experience, and then karaoke bars are the opposite of that. They are these big, massive halls where you get pitchers of cheap, cheap rice lager and just drink all night long and sing, and they're just a lot of fun.Suzy Chase: You include a North Korean microbrewery, one of the last frontiers of the craft brewery world. Talk a little bit about this.Justin Kennedy: There's a lot of beer that's made in North Korea, but most of it is not the type of... it's mass produced adjunct lagers, but there are... This is one of the things. I haven't been there myself, but I had one of my freelancers that worked on this, and he said there's a hotel, a few hotels that have brewpubs on premise, and it's like McSorley's in some way. Your choices are either yellow beer or black beer, and that's all you're given, but it is fresh beer and it's made right there on premise. I would say, compared to... especially compared to South Korea, there's no real comparison, but there is a small microbrewery scene in North Korea itself.Suzy Chase: Now, I want to hear some of your personal opinions. What do you look for when you hit the pub?Justin Kennedy: I like places that have a tightly curated selection of beer. I don't like walking in and seeing a hundred different choices because, if you see that, you know that most of the beer or maybe half of it is probably not going to be very fresh. I like a place that is doing a lot of the picking for me ahead of time.Justin Kennedy: I also like places that are more fun. I don't like a lot of pretension when it comes to beer. I like places that you can go and hang out and actually talk to your... the people that you're there with, have a conversation that's not overly loud, not overly crowded. I'm a dad. Lately, I've been hanging out at a lot of places with other families, other dads, so it's really changed for me over the last few years, but that's what I'm looking for when I go to a pub these days.Suzy Chase: What's your favorite bar in the book?Justin Kennedy: Let's see, my favorite bar in the book is probably a bar called Novare Res up in Portland, Maine. It's a geeky beer bar that's off this little alleyway. It's hard to find. It's in downtown Portland, but it's not something you would just stumble upon. You have to go down an alley and then you come upon it after you make another turn, so it's... but it's this cozy little space, and they always have local beer from Portland, but also some really cool imported beers. They have another vintage list with just some really bottles that you're probably not going to find anywhere else. That's probably my favorite bar in the book.Suzy Chase: What's the quirkiest bar in the book?Justin Kennedy: I think the quirkiest bar in the book is... It's really hard to pronounce. It's in Belgium. It's called In de Verzekering Tegen de Grote Dorst, so it translates to-Suzy Chase: Close enough haha.Justin Kennedy: It translates to in the insurgence against great thirst, so it's a bar in Belgium. It's only open on Sunday mornings and then on certain church holidays. It's associated with the church. It was built in the mid-1800s and it's been operational ever since, but it specializes in something called lambic, which is traditional to the region. It's this spontaneous fermented beer, meaning, there's no yeast that's added. It's just whatever is in the air is inoculating the beer and creating the beer, so they specialize in that. There was a woman that owned it for 50 years, but she tried to retire in the '90s and sell it off. Two brothers took it over, and today it's run by them, but it's just this quirky little, weird place. It's only open for a few hours every week, and I think people go there after church and drink lambic and hang out on the town square. It's really cool.Suzy Chase: The sober curious trend is so big right now. Are there any nonalcoholic beers that you like?Justin Kennedy: Yeah, so, earlier this week, I actually had the first ones I've had of the new wave, and it was from a brewery in Connecticut called Athletic Brewing, and I've got to say the beer was pretty good. It wasn't great. It had a tea-like quality. Some of it did, but they had a coffee stout that was really good, and it's completely nonalcoholic. I think it's interesting. I don't think it's something that I'm personally going to pursue, but I think it's also part of this trend of wellness and looking more towards low calorie, low ABV, low carb "beer."Suzy Chase: Now to my segment called My Favorite Cookbook. What is your favorite all-time cookbook and why?Justin Kennedy: This was a hard question for me, so I have hundreds of cookbooks in my house, and I love a lot of them, but I think, my favorite cookbook, it's a book called Honey from a Weed by Patience Gray. Do you know her?Suzy Chase: No. What is that?Justin Kennedy: Okay, so it's this strange little book. It came out in the '80s, and Patience Gray was this kind of an English food writer who ended up marrying later in her life a Belgian sculptor, and they lived all over the Mediterranean part of Europe, so they were in Provence, they're in Italy, they were in Catalonia for a while. They were on a couple of Greek islands, and then they finally settled into this abandoned farmhouse in Apulia in Southern Italy. They spent the rest of their years there, and she started working on the book I believe soon after they moved there in the '70s, and it's like a document of every place they lived and recipes that she'd gathered, and it's also like very of-the-moment at this point because it's about foraging and wild edibles and stuff like that.Justin Kennedy: It's just a very strange, esoteric book. There's no photographs in it. It's all just drawings that she did of plants and fish and other animals. It's more of a document than anything else. I keep a copy on my bedside table and just flip through it a couple of times a week. It's so interesting.Suzy Chase: I love that. That's so cool.Justin Kennedy: You got to get a copy. It's really cool.Suzy Chase: Where can we find you on the web and social media?Justin Kennedy: I'm on Instagram, @justinxkennedy, and you can find my website. It's www.justin-kennedy.com.Suzy Chase: Thanks, Justin, for chatting with me on Cookery by the Book podcast.Justin Kennedy: Thanks for having me.Outro: Subscribe over on CookerybytheBook.com, and thanks for listening to the number one cookbook podcast, Cookery by the Book.

We’ve got some great guests joining us tonight to celebrate Spring and talk about German beer. Joining us is Lars Dahlhaus from Liquid Projects and Eddie Travers of Porterhouse at Fraunces Tavern. We’ve also got Justin Meyers from Paulaner NYC here and later Gabe Barry and Claire Moyle from Brooklyn Brewery will be talking about the Brooklyn Mansion, which kicks off next week right here in Brooklyn!

Before the Revolutionary War, the tavern founded by Samuel Fraunces in lower Manhattan was the meeting place for the Sons of Liberty. During the Revolutionary War, the tavern took a cannonball through the roof, and after the war’s end, it’s where George Washington bid farewell to his officers. The tavern’s last true brush with history came 40 years ago. On Jan. 24, 1975, Puerto Rican nationalists set off a bomb in the tavern annex, injuring 50 people and killing four people. One off those victims was Frank Connor, a banker from Fair Lawn, New Jersey. His son Joe Connor joins us on The Gist to describe his ongoing work preserving his father’s legacy and pursuing justice. He and Michael Duncan are the authors of The New Founders. For the Spiel, why NFL quarterbacks should get to do whatever they want with their balls.

Jimmy Carbone’s talking about taverns on this week’s episode of Beer Sessions Radio. Christine Sismondo, author of America Walks into a Bar, is in the studio to offer s perspective on the importance of taverns as gathering places throughout history. Also in the studio are Ken Tirado of Killmeyer’s Old Bavarian Inn and Barry Smyth of Fraunces Tavern, two of the oldest taverns in New York City. Tune in to hear about some of the beers at Killmeyer’s and Fraunces Tavern, the importance of owner involvement in bars, the consequences of Prohibition in the United States, and why it’s important to keep old tavern traditions alive. This episode has been brought to you by GreatBrewers.com. “I don’t see the American Revolution happening without taverns.” “One interesting thing about Prohibition is that people are really invested in the story as something that created more problems than it solved. To some degree, it’s true, but if you look at the beginning of Prohibition, people really did drink less. For the first half of it, it really was successful at curbing people’s over-consumption.” — Christine Sismondo on Beer Sessions Radio “Taverns were the first libraries, the first art galleries, and the first cinemas.” — Barry Smyth

Fraunces Tavern is one of America's most important historical sites of the Revolutionary War and a reminder of the great importance of tavern culture on the New York way of life during the Colonial era. This revered building at the corner of Pearl and Broad streets was the location of George Washington's emotional farewell speech to his Continental Army officers and some of the very first government offices of the young United States of America. As with places this famous -- where fact and legend intermingle -- many mysteries still remain, and we attempt to find some answers. Was the tavern owner Samuel Fraunces one of America's first great black patriots? Did Sam use his position here to spy upon the British during the years of occupation between 1776 and 1783? Was his daughter on hand to prevent an assassination attempt on the life of Washington? And is it possible that the basement of Fraunces Tavern once housed a dungeon? ALSO: Learn about the two deadly attacks on Fraunces Tavern -- one by a British war vessel in the 1770s, and another, more violent act of terror that occurred in its doorway over 200 years later! www.boweryboyspodcast.com Support the show.
