Will there ever be enough faux Irish pubs on Second Avenue? Midtown is celebrating the arrival of yet another pubby establishment that local residents and suits from neighboring skyscrapers will enjoy for its long bar, reliable fish-'n'-chips fare, numerous sports-tuned TVs, and a back room with leather sofas. As with all the other nearby Emerald Islanders, it's like a little piece of the Blarney Stone plunked down smack in the middle of Manhattan. — Charles Runnette
