White Horse Tavern - est. 1673
White Horse Tavern - est. 1673Newport, RI: A private home from 1652 to 1673, it’s called the White Horse Tavern because back in the day not everyone could read, and a white horse signified a tavern. Fun fact: It’s allegedly the birthplace of the modern business lunch; in 1708 city councilors had lunch here and charged their meals to the public treasury. Nice one, guys.
