Please join us at City Tavern (est. 1773), “the most genteel tavern in America” ~ John Adams. Located in Old City and one block from the Delaware River, we will experience authentic 18th century American culinary history.  The distance from the Sonesta Hotel is 1.6 miles, a 30-minute walk or 15-minute cab/subway ride. We will gather in the ‘The Long Room’ as did Congress for the first Fourth of July Celebration in 1777.  And, like America’s founding fathers, you won’t want to miss a genuine colonial meal.  Today, that comes from proprietor and Chef Walter Staib, who is also the Four-time Emmy award winning host of ‘A Taste of History’. 

21:15-22:30 Session : Ghost Tour - Preregistration Required

If you’re looking for a slightly different historical view of Philadelphia while in town for the conference, and, if you’re brave enough to explore a combination of folklore and ghost stories from among some of the oldest areas and buildings within Philadelphia, join us for the Walking Ghost Tour of Philadelphia – immediately following the City Tavern group dinner.
