City Tavern
City Tavern offers a historic dining experience, complete with Colonial haute cuisine, costumed wait staff and Colonial-era drinks and desserts.
Award-winning Chef Walter Staib earned his restaurant a Five Star Diamond Award with his hearty choices of traditional American cuisine, like the turkey pot pie in a delectable sherry cream sauce and the escalopes of veal served with mushrooms, sauce Bearnaise and season vegetables.
In the warm-weather months, diners at the Historic District tavern can enjoy the traditional American cuisine from a garden-side seat.

John Adams called the City Tavern “the most genteel tavern in America,” and the restaurant, founded in 1773, has hosted celebrations since the beginning of the American Revolution.
Staib, a winner of more than a dozen Emmy Awards for his hit series A Taste of History, has created a menu our founding fathers would enjoy.
The space boasts three floors, 10 dining rooms and a spacious garden to accommodate patrons year-round.
The Visit Philly Overnight Package — booked more than 190,000 times since 2001 — comes with free hotel parking (worth up to $100 in Center City Philadelphia), overnight hotel accommodations and choose-your-own-adventure perks.
