Irish Pub and Turkey?

Playwright’s menu features Irish & American style dishes, deliciously paired with any beer, cocktail or wine. The hotel and Playwrights was located just blocks from Macy’s & Madison Square Garden/Penn Station. We had a very nice dinner, enjoyed some […]

What’s For Dinner?

After seeing all the balloons, we found the subway and headed back to the hotel. On the way, we stopped in at the Playwright Irish Pub and Restaurant. The Pub was just 5 doors up from the hotel. We could stop, have dinner and then be back in our rooms in five minutes. Sounded great. […]

Time to Eat

The restaurant had a terrace and the famous “Chinaco” Bar, where musical groups performed. They still have live musical performances in the El Paso restaurant. Nice Mexican music provided by […]
