A plate from the past

The USA’s non-indigenous history is short in comparison to other countries. However, despite this, it’s full of historic restaurants that give diners a glimpse back into the past. Think small inns and taverns that played witness to the American Revolution, as well as restaurants that can count presidents among their diners – whether that be as part of a campaign trail or as a casual stop off for the head of state to unwind. All have their place in American history.
