...vitality that seem to pump adrenaline into the city.

He has, in fact, an excess of both zeal and guts that has made him assault the city's gargantuan problems with reckless disregard for his own standing. In his many tilts with the city's plodding...

It is not a pub that any Irishman would recognize but, as Restaurant & Waldorf Associates puts it, "the kind of pub an Irishman might like to open if he came to New York." The owners poked about Dublin absorbing atmosphere, installed kegs of Irish Harp beer on draft in order to create what the owners like to think is "a womb with a brew."
