...and a tip o' the tricorn to thefactor who let me know about the article in the Daily News about this.

Fraunces Tavern at Broad and Pearl Sts.

The Sons of Liberty met here in the 1760s; from 1765 through 1770 NYC was the hotbed of revolution, whereas it shifted to Boston afterward. Sam Fraunces was half white and half black and very close to Gen. Washington; he was put in charge of President Washington's food in his residence in NYC.
