About this book
The contents of Old Taverns of New York range from settlement and taverns to regulations for innkeepers, political agitation, elections, and conferences at the coffee house. The account says Martin Crigier obtained a grant of a lot in 1643, where a house appears already to have been built, probably by Crigier himself.
The account identifies Martin Crigier as an innkeeper and invites the reader to imagine his house as a resort for politicians discussing defence and town policies. Francis is described as failing to sell his house and continuing as landlord of the Queen’s Head until he abandoned it when the British army entered the city. The account says Mrs. Ferrari had been keeping the Merchants’ Coffee House on the northwest corner of the present Wall and Water Streets.
