Tun Tavern burned down in 1781, near the end of the American Revolution. Its location is occupied by Interstate 95, where it passes along Penn's Landing. Tun Alley once existed between Walnut and Chestnut Streets east of Front Street. A commemorative marker on the east side of Front Street indicates the site, across from Sansom Walk.[6]

Go to the Villa in the Italian market. My wife is from Philly. Though she is all Chestnut Hill.
Nice place to go for a walk is North Philly. Very charming area.

I guess the 'marker' I saw was where a very old building was standing....I recall some steps down to the door.....anyway, still a great historical area.Jezzy Bell wrote:... well according to wikipedia it burnt down in the 1700sHigh Velocity Lie-Nap! wrote:Meaning it's been demolished?

My favorite part of Philly was leaving to go over the bridge to Jersey to thrash my rental in the Pine Barrens. The history is great, the people were distinctly sub-optimal.
