Lovelace Tavern

The Lovelace Tavern was a bar located in what is now the Financial District of Manhattan in New York City. Owned by the then-governor of New York colony, Colonel Francis Lovelace, it was in business from 1670 until 1706.[1][2] The building's remains were discovered in 1979, when construction for present-day 85 Broad Street was taking place.[3][4] The building burned down in 1706, but the original foundation walls can be seen today through glass set into the sidewalk.
