Closure
Sadly, news of the Tavern's permanent closure was carried in an article in the Philadelphia Inquirer on 2 November 2020, and has been added to the end of this Wiki article.

National Park Service?
Is this building owned by the National Park Service or at least managed by them? At the City Tavern website, it states:

1948: Congress authorized Independence National Historical Park to preserve certain important buildings and sites of significant national importance, encompassing more than forty buildings on forty-two acres, including the site of the original City Tavern.

1975: Historically accurate replication of the original Tavern is completed according to period images, written accounts and insurance surveys.

1994: Walter Staib wins congressional approval as operator of the Tavern, which re-opens for business on July 4, featuring eighteenth century style gourmet cuisine.

AND

''In 1975, after painstaking research, the National Park Service rebuilt the City Tavern. Today, the tavern appears essentially as it did two hundred years ago, even down to the front awning which shielded the tavern from the summer sun.''

''The City Tavern has been rebuilt so that you may enjoy a “taste” of the past and share the atmosphere of gentility and food cheer enjoyed by our nation’s founders. Both the National Park Service and Concepts by Staib, Ltd, the tavern’s operator, have made every effort to faithfully recreate the tavern as it operated during the American Revolution. It is our hope that, should John Adams return, he would still think of the tavern as “the most genteel tavern in America.”''

I hope that the restaurant is able to arise again. Thank you for your time, Wordreader (talk) 04:07, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
