History The building that houses Pete's was built in 1829, and was originally the Portman Hotel;, p.206 liquor may have been sold there as early as 1851 or 1852 – when it was a "grocery & grog" store"History of Pete's Tavern" on the tavern's menu – and the first official drinking establishment founded by 1864.

18th Street (Manhattan)
The New York City borough of Manhattan contains 214 numbered east–west streets ranging from 1st to 228th, the majority of them designated in the Commissioners' Plan of 1811. These streets do not run exactly east–west, because the grid plan is aligned with the Hudson River, rather than with the cardinal directions. Thus, the majority of the Manhattan grid's "west" is approximately 29 degrees north of true west; the angle differs above 155th Street, where the grid initially ended. The grid now covers the length of the island from 14th Street north. All numbered streets carry an East or West prefix – for example, East 10th Street or West 10th Street – which is demarcated at Broadway below 8th Street, and at Fifth Avenue at 8th Street and above. The numbered streets carry crosstown traffic. In general, but with numerous exceptions, even-numbered streets are one-way eastbound and odd-numbered streets are one-way westbound. Most wider streets, and a few of the narrow ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of The Oldest Restaurants In The United States
This list of the oldest restaurants in the United States includes currently-operating restaurants that were founded prior to the year 1900. Most of the establishments are located in the Northeastern United States, many of them predate the Civil War, and a handful predate the Revolutionary War. Disputes In 2017, credible evidence was uncovered that indicates New York's legendary Katz's Delicatessen might have been founded in 1911, rather than the popular claim of 1888. In 2013, credible evidence was uncovered that indicates the fabled story of The Old Clam House in San Francisco is inaccurate. The original story is that it was built in 1861 and is the oldest restaurant in San Francisco. Recent in depth historical research with concrete evidence has found absolutely zero information to support this claim. Actual historical evidence proves that it is not on the 1869 topographical map of the area, is not on the 1886 Sanborn fire insurance map, and doesn't show up until 1891 in the c ...
