On Pearl Street in lower Manhattan, a tavern that predates the republic itself is once again opening its doors to those who wish to feel the weight of what was once decided there. Fraunces Tavern, standing since 1762, is offering a July 4th experience modeled on the gatherings of the Sons of Liberty — men who turned argument and ale into revolution. It is less a museum offering than an invitation to collapse the distance between the founding moment and the present one, a distance that, for many Americans, has never felt greater.
