In 1777, the Tavern hosted America's first official Fourth of July celebration. And in 1789, this landmark inn held a banquet for George Washington as he passed through Philadelphia en route to New York for his presidential inauguration. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the Revolutionary period and the early republic, City Tavern was the center of American political and social life. More than a meeting place for prominent Americans, the Tavern also acquired a reputation as the best restaurant in North America, the setting for suppers, \"as elegant as was ever laid on a table,\" according to John Adams. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince Philadelphia's seaport was the lively center of eighteenth-century commerce, it's no surprise that it was here that the finest imported foodstuffs, Madeiras, clarets, and exotic fruits and spices met the bounty of the New World, giving the City Tavern chef an unlimited supply of ingredients. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than two hundred years later, the Tavern is still garnering high praise for its gourmet cuisine and elegant atmosphere. The fusion of classic European cookery, American game and produce, and exotic Island spices enjoyed by early visitors to the Tavern is recreated every day by chef\/proprietor Walter Staib. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCity Tavern Cookbook reveals the richness and diversity of the eighteenth-century table.
