Neary's was an Irish pub on East 57th Street near First Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, New York City, from 1967 to 2024. The pub was known for its traditional menu and its elite clientele, including political figures, prominent businesspeople, writers, and entertainers. Neary's was founded by James Joseph "Jimmy" Neary (September 14, 1930 – October 1, 2021), an Irish emigrant to the United States. Jimmy Neary emigrated to the United States at the age of 24 from his birthplace of Tubbercurry, Ireland; he bought his boat ticket by buying lambs from gambling winnings, breeding them, and selling them. When he first moved to New York City, he worked as a porter at the New York Athletic Club. He was then drafted into the United States Army and served in Germany. When he returned he worked as a bartender at P.J. Moriarty's until he opened his own pub. In 1966, he married his wife Eileen Twomey. On Saint Patrick's Day, March 16, 1967 (1967-03-16), Jimmy opened his eponymous pub with Brian Mulligan, who was also a bartender, at 358 East 57th Street. In 1986, Jimmy purchased the building. Neary's was described as an upscale establishment. Jimmy Neary required male customers to wear jackets and barred t-shirts and shorts. The bar had a traditional pub menu. Its most popular items were lamb chops with mint jelly and corned beef and cabbage. The pub was best known for its notable regulars, including political figures, prominent businesspeople, writers, and entertainers. Customers were drawn by Jimmy Neary's work ethic and personality, as well as its long-time bartenders and waiters, including Jimmy's daughter Una Neary, who worked at the pub for most of her life and continued working there even after becoming a partner at Goldman Sachs. The pseudonymous food critic Brooks of Sheffield, writing for Eater, called Neary a "faithful and attentive owner". Neary worked every day of the year except for Christmas Day, when he closed the restaurant. Jimmy was short in stature, and many customers referred to him as their "favorite leprechaun". The New York Times wrote that Jimmy's "hospitality ma[de] everyone feel like a regular". Jimmy Neary died on October 1, 2021(2021-10-01) (aged 91). The Archbishop of New York, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan, presided over his funeral at St. Patrick's Cathedral. The New York City Police Department shut down the FDR Drive, the Harlem River Drive, and the top level of the George Washington Bridge for his funeral procession. Jimmy's children operated the restaurant until July 19, 2024 (2024-07-19). Prior to closing, they announced that they had sold the building to two restaurateurs who planned to open an updated Irish restaurant.

312 and 314 East 53rd Street are two wooden row houses on 53rd Street, between First Avenue and Second Avenue, in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. The row houses were designed by Robert and James Cunningham with French Second Empire and Italianate details. The houses are two of seven remaining wooden houses on the East Side of Manhattan north of 23rd Street. The houses both consist of three stories above a raised brick basement. On both houses, the facade of the first story is asymmetrical, with two windows to the left of an entrance doorway. The second story is symmetrical, with two windows, while the mansard roof above both houses has two dormer windows. The interior areas of both houses slightly differ, with number 314 being slightly larger than number 312. The Cunninghams built the houses between 1865 and 1866 just as new fire codes were enacted in the neighborhood, preventing the construction of new wooden buildings. The houses were likely speculative developments, as neither Cunningham resided at either house. Residents over the years have included New York City Ballet cofounder Lincoln Kirstein, artist Muriel Draper, and dancer Paul Draper at number 312, as well as writer Edmund Wilson at number 314. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated number 312 as a city landmark in 1968. Number 314 was also considered for landmark status in the 1960s but was not similarly designated until 2000.
