of the Hudson River, the east river, numerous bays, and the Atlantic Ocean. These

Amsterdam." Native American presence soon became negligible. New Amsterdam
focused on trade, welcoming an international group of settlers. Agriculture moved to
Long Island.

other public eating places. Food was simple and hearty. English New York City refined
public dining; establishments such as Fraunce's Tavern served local meats, game, and
seafood.
