Neary's
Neary's

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.

23 Beekman Place
23 Beekman Place

23 Beekman Place, also the Paul Rudolph Apartment & Penthouse, is an apartment building between 50th and 51st streets in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City. Built c. 1869 as a five-story brownstone residence, it was substantially redesigned in the late 20th century by Paul Rudolph, an American architect and one-time dean of Yale University. It is one of the few known projects Rudolph designed in the city. The house is part of a secluded residential enclave surrounding Beekman Place. It consists of the original brownstone residence, along with a four-story steel skeletal penthouse with concrete wall panels, which is cantilevered slightly over the street. The rear walls contain full-width windows with East River views, while the interiors contain high ceilings and open floor plans. Throughout his occupancy at the building, from the 1960s to 1990s, Rudolph constantly adjusted the interior layout. The penthouse originally received negative feedback from neighbors, who expressed concerns that it would draw excessive attention to the area and that it would block their own views of the river. The building was originally a brownstone along with the other structures in the area. In the first half of the 20th century, it was occupied by actress Katharine Cornell and director and producer Guthrie McClintic, who were married. Starting in 1961, Rudolph leased a fourth-story apartment at 23 Beekman Place, and he ultimately bought the entire building outright in 1976. Following that, Rudolph redeveloped the building from 1977 to 1982, constructing the steel penthouse above the existing masonry apartments. After Rudolph died in 1997, the building was sold to the Boyd family and then to Steven Campus, who both renovated the interior. The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission designated the house as a landmark in 2010.
