Of the three, I think Maspeth would have the largest. At least it did in the past. Woodhaven, Queens also had a decent sized Irish population, but that is changing very fast.
I think Polish are the dominate European group in Maspeth, with Italians being the dominate one in M. Village, but I see plenty of Irish in both areas. There's a lot of Irish on my block in Glendale, but they are definitely Irish American.
When I grew up in Glendale it seemed like everyone on my block was German. No longer the case.
The Germans are more spread out these days. Besides the Germans don't have a need anymore to come here in large numbers because the German economy is doing quite well.
Woodlawn is a very nice place. It is a bit out of the way and geographically isolated (which is what saved it from the "Bronx is Burning" days of the 1960s/1970s) but has some nice pubs/rest and Irish stores.
Sunnyside in Queens is good too. But as a native Bronxite, I recommend Woodlawn!
Just wondering if you have had any luck with finding an apartment? Myself and 4 friends are in the same boat. Just moved over from Ireland last month. We have a sublet till the end of the month and have gone to view loads of houses from craigslist but same situation with having no credit or american co-signers. We're getting worried as we only have 2 weeks to find somewhere!
