New York's Oldest Restaurant Is A Cozy Eatery That's Older Than America Itself
In a nation that often celebrates the new and the modern, only a few places exist that allow guests to step across a threshold and into the 17th century. One such place sits a mere 25 miles north of the New York City skyline in the quiet riverside town of Tappan. Welcome to the '76 House, a cozy eatery and tavern that's so old that major historical figures threw back drinks inside its hallowed walls.

These Upstate NY Christmas bars are a one-way ticket to tinsel town
Christmas bars in Upstate New York are decking the halls — and windows, and bathrooms — with floor-to-ceiling holiday excess.

Add a soundtrack heavy on Mariah and a menu of cheeky, holiday-themed cocktails, and these maximalist pop-ups are equal parts nostalgia and spectacle.
