City Tavern in Philadelphia

One of our favorite places in Philadelphia was The City Tavern, where many of the founding fathers used to meet regularly.
It is now a restaurant where servers dress in period clothing and all of the food is from the Colonial time period.
The chef has a show on PBS.  What he does is go around, re-creating accurate historical foods.  Pretty cool, right?

They even use pewter goblets which are nice and cold on HOT summer days!

We loved the sweet potato rolls, which were a favorite of Thomas Jefferson.
We enjoyed the entire experience so much, we took Bill back when he came to town :).
Keegan was wearing the same shirt both times, haha.

 We tried an old timey drink, a non-alcoholic shrub, but Kelsey and I were the only ones who liked it.   Keegan thought it was too fizzy :)!  Also we tried our first creme brulee'.  Yummmmmmmmmm!

I couldn't resist buying a cap.  Isn't she adorable ;)?
