Langan\u2019s <\/strong>is a New York City icon that has now been reborn and is waiting to welcome you all to their new home at at 114 West 47th Street, a few doors down from their original location. First established in 1992 by John Mahon<\/strong> and Desmond O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, Langan\u2019s revolutionized the New York City dining scene by introducing an elevated Irish fine-dining experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a white-tablecloth restaurant with a welcoming ambiance, Langan\u2019s quickly became the go-to destination for after-work drinks, theater-goers, and the millions of tourists visiting NYC each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its culinary excellence, Langan\u2019s gained a reputation as a hotspot for the famous and influential, hosting luminaries such as Meryl Streep, sports legend Muhammad Ali, renowned journalist Steve Dunleavy, and TV personality Sean Hannity, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The original Langan\u2019s shut down in early 2018, after it lost its lease, ending a 25-year run. Now nearly seven years later, now on the same block and after a $1 million renovation, it has just re-opened a few doors down from the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Langan\u2019s Irish\/American Pub and Restaurant partners are the original owners, Des O\u2019Brien<\/strong>, Robert Mahon<\/strong> and Pat Burke<\/strong>, all well known in the hospitality restaurant and bar business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was there on a few occasions with some friends for cocktails and I must tell yea its amazing to just walk in and the welcome you will get is nothing less than a c\u00e9ad m\u00edle f\u00e1ilte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I am Out&About this is one of the places that I will definitely frequent, I am sure quite a lot as it has got what it takes to attract you to stop in for a drink and very nice menu when entertaining friends or work colleges for lunch, dinner or if you just want to meet up for a bit of gossip. Ah, I love it, we might all just meet up there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This notice came to with some sad news. \u201cDear Members,\u00a0I reach out with some very sad news from Johnny Harvey<\/strong> who has let me know\u00a0that his Dad passed away yesterday morning. PJ <\/strong>has been cared for by his family for the past few weeks in home\u00a0hospice. He was a lifelong friend of the O\u2019Neill Family, through good times and bad, as I know he was for many. It is difficult even stating this that in the past tense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe was a great Clare\u00a0man who did a lot of good for so many\u00a0and was a fierce supporter of the Clare Association<\/strong>. The Harvey Family will have to navigate Holy Week restrictions as they plan a wake and funeral.\u00a0 I will be in touch\u00a0as soon as I hear from them regarding\u00a0definitive date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease keep PJ and the Harvey Family in your prayers, to quote a lyric from one of PJ\u2019s many favorite tunes, \u2018Will the Circle be Unbroken by and by Lord, by and by. There\u2019s a better home awaiting in the sky Lord, in the sky.\u2019 RIP PJ Harvey from all your friends and family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll see you all again next week when I\u2019m Out&About again\u2026 <\/p>\n
