Old Town Bar near Union Square
Old Town Bar near Union Square has been in business since 1892. It has been in the same family since the early 1980s and is now being run by second-generation family member Gerard Meagher. Gerard told us that "the entire interior of the bar is pretty much original. The mahogany bar with its marble top is 55 feet long and one of the longest mahogany #bars in the city." We love all of the #vintage items inside including the bar, the tin Celine and beveled mirrors. We also love their gorgeous bi-color #neon overhanging #sign which is original and installed in the 1930s. Many famous writers frequented Old Town including Seamus Heaney, Pete Hamill, and Frank McCourt. A full interview with Gerard and photo of the bar at night appears in our book "New York Nights". #neonsign #neongeeks #signgeeks #nyc #trb_ipoft_signs #pocket_usa_signs
