It's always interesting
when a bar owner feels the need to take what is essentially a generic,
personalityless joint and open another location under the same name.
I mean nothing says authenticity and personal care than a pub chain.
And, of course, nothing says chain like Times Square. So, let's recap:
here's a generic Irish pub in a generic neighborhood that leaves one
asking the question "why?" The answer, as you know, is that there
is money to be made off of tourists and after-work folks who want
to watch sports and get inebriated and generally spend their time
anywhere that will serve them in a space close to their hotels and
buses. And most of 'em just don't know any better. [MF] |
