"Housed in one of America’s oldest taverns (with roots back to 1782), this candlelit, cozy spot is ideal for a weekend getaway—start with a drink by the fire and linger over a daily-changing menu of simple pleasures like pickles, chips, or a restorative cup of broth. Much of the menu is cooked over a wood fire, yielding showstoppers such as dayboat scallops and a crackling suckling pig." - Becky Duffett
