History
In 2004, This Blarney Stone was renovated by the current owners of the establishment. Although (circa 2008) The steam table was removed, we are still serving corned beef from our kitchen. Article from Ephemeral New York: Dimly lit, very smoky, and smelling like cheap beer, Blarney Stones used to be all over New York City--hideaways for working men who wanted to drink, and maybe catch a ball game and have a corned beef sandwich. They were the brainchild of Irish immigrant Daniel Flanagan, whose first Blarney Stone opened on Third Avenue and 44th Street in 1952.
