id bet that loads of them hung out in the old Blarney Stone on 48th and 8th (now the Social Bar) back in the day

BTW--before Worldwide Plaza opened, 8th Ave between 48th and 49th--hookers and drugs, or was it borderline-ish?

http://wirednewyork.com/images/hotel...ys_inn_8th.jpg

prior to 1994 this hotel was a Ramada, would you tend to think that hookers, hustlers, pushers, etc would peddle their wares in from of the hotel lobby or would you think they stayed away? I mean back in the 80's and 70's. post Worldwide Plaza it was fairly decent over here

Default no irish left in nyc

I can barely find any irish left in nyc. Most of the people who observe the st Patrick's day parade ain't even irish. I'm sure that the irish mob still exist but since there are no irish really left in nyc they probably are organized in other areas of ny or other states.

While getting smaller, no the Irish aren't entirely gone from NYC. You can find sizeable populations out on Staten Island, parts of Queens or Brooklyn and yes even the Bronx. Inwood, Hell's Kitchen, West Village and other former areas of Manhattan with strong Irish populations have seen declines in many cases to the point of being nearly nil left.


However as one stated in another thread see plenty of Irish construction workers on the UES as they make their way down to GCT or to the subways. We're talking off the boat recently or have not been here long as they still have beautiful brogue accents.
