Emerald Inn: The staff here is so friendly and down to earth, they begin to feel like the nice Irish family you never had. This pub has been around since the 1940s and has been run by three generations, so the family feel isn’t just you trying to give your alcoholism more depth—it’s real. The food, such as the shepherd’s pie and bangers and mash, has that home-cooked appeal as well. It’s not necessarily traditional Irish, but the customers agree Emerald Inn Pub has the best burger in town. It’s a fairly simple place with a few televisions, a long bar, and a handful of booths, but Emerald Inn Pub has made a regular out of many New Yorkers. |
