We were especially lazy today (especially in light of last nights extended sojourn to China Town) and decided that we would eat dinner at O’Luney’s - an “Irish” pub across the street from our hotel.

Unfortunately, the only thing Irish about this place was the Guinness (at least in name only). We ordered what would normally be a safe choice of “Banger’s and Mash” and a cheeseburger, which you might expect for the to get right bearing in mind the kind of establishment they are. What we got was what could be described as “greasy spoon” sausages and one of the nastiest slabs of cowmeat I have ever eaten.

I’m not sure if this is a symptom of the local (we are in touristastic Times Square after all), or a standard of pub food in the US but in a city like New York with such a massive population of Irish you’d think that they’d get something simple like Banger’s and Mash correct? I think we’ll be eating Italian tomorrow…
