Why You Should Go: Anyone who’s been to Times Square or Fisherman’s Wharf knows that restaurants lucky enough to be situated in famous locations tend not to spend much time worrying about their food. Set in an 1817 home just steps from where George Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River, Washington Crossing Inn is the rare exception, combining beauty, history and fantastic food in a quaint, relaxing setting.

Any Meal You Want: Breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner, Washington Crossing Inn does it all, and does it all in style. For early risers, a hearty breakfast like Duck Hash n’ Eggs or Blueberry and Thyme Pancakes are a delicious start to any day. The Sunday brunch buffet includes everything from omelet stations and waffles to prime rib, salmon filet, chicken and pasta. For lunch,  the Crab Cake Sandwich or Ricotta Cavatelli are the perfect midday meal, or settle in for dinner with Escargot and Tempura Butternut squash, followed by Scallops, Mushroom Napoleon or Pappardelle with 9 Hour Braised Veal.
