No Take-Out or Restaurant Meals for the Hamilton Family

Family dining was an at-home activity in Hamilton’s time. There were no freestanding restaurants, and typically, families did not go out to eat in the establishments that existed for dining away from home. Eating out was usually the preserve of men with business affairs to conduct, whether at a coffeehouse, an oyster cellar, a tavern, or a dining room in a hotel.65 Hamilton certainly visited at least one famous tavern, Fraunces, which opened in 1762 and operates today in renovated space at the same location where it existed in Hamilton’s day, near his home in lower Manhattan. Another dining-out locale not too far from his home was City Hotel on Broadway. It opened in 1794 and served “family-style” meals (but, ironically, not to families) at long tables.66
