Landmark Tavern - open, since 1868!


Yay! It's so nice to know some things live on! From their site: 

In 1868 Patrick Henry Carley opened his Landmark Tavern, an Irish Waterfront Saloon. In those days there was no 12th Avenue, just the shores of the Hudson, on which his Tavern sat. Mr. and Mrs. Carley designed their new saloon to also be a practical home for their children on the second and third floors. This remained as such until prohibition forced them to turn the third floor into a speakeasy. As one of the oldest continually operating establishments in the City today, The Landmark Tavern still retains its classic old New York charm.

Menu prices for New York City don't look that bad, we paid right about that for good Irish pub food 15 years ago in Saint Louis. And they are adapting well to the times, with a strong take out menu featuring corned beef and cabbage, lamb shank, steaks, burgers, and chops. 

Bar menu is up, and unfortunately, neither drink is listed. There's a tea on the menu, so that is the recipe I will lean towards. 

Irish Tea
  • 1 1/2 oz. orange cognac brandy
  • 4 oz. hot tea (orange pekoe? doesn't say)
  • 1/2 tsp. sugar
  • whipped cream
  • orange peel
Pour brandy into 8 oz mug. Add tea and sugar, stir. Top with swirl of whipped cream. Twist orange peel above drink then drop.
