@theirishgem: Imagine having a drink in the same New York bar as Abraham Lincoln… 🇮🇪🇺🇸🍺 Lincoln is said to have visited McSorley’s after his famous Cooper Union speech in 1860 and today the bar is packed with incredible pieces of history, including a wanted poster for his assassin, John Wilkes Booth. 👀 #McSorleys #AbrahamLincoln #NewYorkHistory #IrishBarsNYC #IrishGemInAmerica
Awesome pub! That picture of jw booth looks awfully like Alfred e Newman from mad magazine. Just my take.

They cleaned the dust off the wishbones! I used to go there often in the 70’s and 80’s. They had one bathroom back then. The hot mustard with the cheese plate was great. The bar and decor still look exactly the same.
