This original City Tavern was quite a fine structure\u2013three stories high, built of first-class stone, with an observatory and weathercock on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Here the coastin\u2019 vessels\u2019 crews and captains used to stop, on their voyages between New England and Virginia, and have high old times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Its landlord, Philip Garretson, is entitled to the distinction of bein\u2019 the first regular hotel, or tavern-keeper, who ever did business in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The next tavern-keeper in New York of any account was a good-lookin\u2019 and smart woman called Madam Ferrari.

Smith kept two taverns\u2013one in Philadelphia; but the City Tavern had a big \u201cdancin\u2019 hall\u201d which neither of Smith&#8217;s two taverns had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; George Burns later on kept a tavern on Broadway, which got to be quite popular with ladies as well as gentlemen. A Mrs. Steele kept another Tavern near this, while the old Vauxhall was at the foot of Warren street, overlookin\u2019 the Hudson River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Old Jacob Pozer kept \u201cthe Philadelphia stage house\u201d near the Battery, from which stages for Philadelphia started, with great fuss, twice a week. Later on William Hall kept a stage house on Cortlandt street, from which stages started twice a week for Boston, makin\u2019 the trip in six days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Old David Grim kept a queer sort of tavern in Chapel street at the time called \u201cThe Three Tuns.\u201d David wasn&#8217;t at all a grim, but was very fond of reminiscence. He used to talk about \u201cthe good old times\u201d that came before his time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Part of old Tammany Hall, on Frankford and Nassau streets, was \u201crun\u201d as a hotel by William B. Cozzens. Here Hallock, Drake, Paulding, Mitchell and other smart men and writers used to meet, and talk, and smoke, and drink, and do everything but write. The <em>New York Gazette<\/em> people used to make this place their headquarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Old Tammany Hall in Cozzens\u2019 time was famous for its tip-top \u201cporter,\u201d which was the favorite tipple of the \u201cBucktails.\u201d Riker, Long and lots of \u201cold rounders\u201d of that time used to \u201chave a swig\u201d at this porter all day and all night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Later on the old Franklin House was started where the Western Union buildin\u2019 now stands. A man called Treadwell kept this place, and kept it well. He had excellent cooks. His noonday dinner was a big thing. The big bugs downtown all tried it, and the politicians from Albany, when in New York, dined there. There was a little \u201cDey Street House\u201d started in opposition to it, on the principle that however good a dinner may be, it is possible to get up a better one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Near these hotels, on Broadway, just below Cortlandt street, there stood a little house, very Quiet but cozy lookin\u2019, which never put any signs out or never made any show, but which got to be known all over New York City and all over New York State for its game dinners, of which it made a \u201cspecialty.\u201d The venison, grouse and prairie hens served here were too good to talk about, as a man who had been eatin\u2019 there for years once remarked. This place also became a sort of headquarters for visitors from Buffalo. This was because it was kept by a man from Buffalo\u2013a man who had quite a sad history. He had been \u201ca splendid fellow\u201d in his day, but had got into trouble\u2013more through other people&#8217;s fault than his own; and, in an evil hour, committed forgery to get out of his scrapes; had been caught, tried, convicted and punished; then he came to New York and made a livin\u2019 by gettin\u2019 up these game dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; This man, to who I think I have previously alluded incidentally elsewhere, was called Benjamin Rathbun, and deserved what he received, public sympathy and private money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He had a sad face and wore a white cravat, so he was generally taken for a very pious clergyman. He afterwards moved uptown and kept a family hotel near the reservoir somewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"311\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rathbunshotel.jpg?resize=500%2C311&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rathbunshotel.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/jerrykuntz.org\/harryhill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/rathbunshotel.jpg?resize=300%2C187&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rathbun&#8217;s Hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Rathbun\u2019s game dinners were as popular in their time as Pete Bayard&#8217;s turtle soup had been before \u2018em. Pete Bayard&#8217;s place was in old State street, and although \u201cway down town\u201d even then, was frequented by fashionable people who knew what was what, and would go anywhere to get it. Ladies used to send their coachmen with their butlers in their carriages to get Pete&#8217;s soup, and sometimes eight or ten carriages would be waitin\u2019 in line to get there rations to take home. Pete Bayard&#8217;s clam chowders were also famous; so were his fish chowders; so were his pickled oysters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; By the by, though I have often mentioned the City Hotel (on the site of the present Boreal buildin\u2019) the great hotel of its time, I have never told the story of the big fire which took place at it. This is quite interestin\u2019. This fire happened when old Wenman was a prominent member of the old volunteer fire department, and he figured at it. Durin\u2019 the fire, Mr. Austin M. Baldwin, a clerk of the lottery policy dealer, a highly respected citizen, and several others got on to the roof of the burnin\u2019 hotel and came mighty near never gettin\u2019 down again, bein\u2019 hemmed in by the flames. But a brave fireman named Maverick got hold of the a flag staff, fastened a rope to the top of the flag staff and then lifted up the flag staff. Wenman caught hold of the rope thus lifted him and one by one let the other men down by it, cooly and calmly, as if it was all a joke, not a matter of life and death. Ex-Alderman Day also did good service at this fire. Altogether it was a good piece of work and everybody behaved splendidly. One old gent on the roof thought his time had come and that he was goin\u2019 to burn sure. So he politely took off his hat to the horrified spectators and waved \u2018em all a last farewell. But the brave old beau was saved with the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">[Editor&#8217;s notes: The main source for the above column appears to be a book: Sexagenarian, A. <em>New York City: It&#8217;s Ancient Taverns and Modern Hotels<\/em>, 1884.
