Thank you so much for that one also -- really does qualify as "old-time" too, in spades! Ironic, the reconstructed Tavern opened in 1976, which was the last year I lived there, and left before I could try it out. I seem to recall it had some rocky going in the beginning, but has certainly proved resilience in the meantime, quite a feat in this day and age; I expect the food is quite good now, and it also has the advantage of being right in the historic area for plenty of foot traffic and visitor patronage. Please do let us know how you like it, if you do go.

Now here's one I found with a little research: Black Bass Hotel in Lumberville is still there. It WAS closed, but then bought and deeply restored and opened again a few years ago. Great looking menu (upscale but more up-to-date than in earlier years I'm sure), and with dining and several lovely brand-new suites for overnight, right on the Delaware. History lives on there as well -- that place traces back to 1740 if I recall right; glad they did update the menu a bit since that time and I would really appreciate the modern beds and plumbing if I decided to sleep there!
