Tavern Day

Thanks to the folks over on the b5 Travel Channel for reminding me that today, March 4, is Tavern Day. (How could I have forgotten?)

Tavern Day marks the anniversary of the opening of America’s first tavern in Boston, in 1634. The writers of b5 Media offer their choices for the best taverns in their cities. See:

• McSorley’s Old Ale House in New York City
• Munich’s Starkbierfest
• Kim’s favorite Paris tavern
• A host of taverns in Washington DC
