I've been to this bar. In college, if you took an art class, there was usually a trip to NYC in December. I went with my friend, took my first NY subway ride (I'd been on the Metro in DC) to get there, we walked around, ate at the bar getting our mandatory two pints, rode the subway back, walked around and were possibly in an early Nora Ephron movie in the background, shopped at an art gallery, and had a great time.
Thanks for telling more about the history. I don't remember seeing any ghosts that day.
What a wonderful story, Denise. Thanks for sharing! I spent my first St. Paddy's Day in NYC at McSorley's. It was an easy walk from my then Union Square apartment. I didn't know anyone yet so I went by myself. A group invited me to join them at their table, and we shared the signature house platter: sharp cheddar cheese, saltines and sliced onion. Not sure about the onion but everything else was divine.
