The building is the oldest surviving building (NYS?) tracing back to George Washington – his headquarter where he negotiated with the British for peace. The pub is on the 1st floor and the museum is on the 2nd & 3rd.
This single shoe belonged to GW. There are a few paintings in the museum. The museum is really small. They offer some program which is way I went. Headwraps of African Women in America by Cheyney McKnight @ $20. (The normal admission is $7.) Somewhat disappointed – most, if not all materials are from the web … I could have googled myself …

Won’t return.
Smoky – poor ventilation. Running waiting staff – so rushed. Sweet kimchi. Falling kids (other dinners’ and they let their kids run wild). Nay.
Food is ok, 3 stars – 5 kinds of beef many has gristle. The 2-star rating is for service, like dining in a war zone.
The first page of their menu says they’re 7 stars of food and service. That has to be a joke, as big as their restaurant.
The waiting staff didn’t have time to take our drink order. Corkage fee is $25 but I didn’t see a wine list/menu. On my way out, I saw their wine racks.
When we finished our dinner, our hall (they’ve 3 areas) which is inside with large tables (8 people and more) became quite (at around 7), but that doesn’t slow them down – dumping the fruit plates while the table is still messy and full.
We’ve two birthday cakes (we needed to tell 5 times to chill them, 5 times!) – after cutting the coconut, with the same knife they cut red velvet. 7 stars?
Parking is easy: on the street or behind.

Finally, I dined at Dadong in New York. I probably will return reluctantly, because of, I’m from Beijing, their duck is good, the decor is nice. At the moment, they may be the only high-end Chinese restaurant in town (Tse Yang @ 34 E 51 St closed about 10 years ago; Mr. K

Paraguayan food
Will return. A neat little Paraguayan restaurant on the busy Bell Blvd. Good food, wine – love their Three Ranch’s 2014 Rock n Vine Cab, good service, clean bathroom. Music is a bit too loud.
We sit at the back … pls next time don’t shake out your plastic garbage bag … you can do it quietly/discreetly, right sweetie?
