A National Historic Landmark, the White Horse Tavern is the oldest restaurant in America and the tenth oldest in the world.
Don't be surprised either if you experience something, well, a little odd. That's because the restaurant is also known for being incredibly haunted. You might, for example, hear the cries of a child when no one's there.
