STEPPING FOOT INSIDE
EVERY IRISH PUB
IN AMERICA
The First 100
THIS ISN'T JUST ABOUT IRISH PUBS, AND I'M NOT SURE YOU'RE GOING TO BELIEVE WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU.
What's crackin'? I'll make this quick.
​​​​
Just before I left my parent's house I told myself I was going to live the most adventurous life imaginable. No matter what. There's a neat quote that says something like...
"Life's journey is not to arrive to the grave safely in a well preserved body,
but rather skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting HOLY SHIT... What a ride!"
​
I'm 33 years old, but I feel like I've lived through three or four lifetime's worth of insanity. In this book, I share with you how I moved to Cincinnati by hopping on an Amtrak train with about $800 in my pocket, then sleeping on a hardwood floor, being left for dead on the street, to eventually being the mascot for the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball. The crazy thing about it all? That's only half of it.
My ancestors are from Ireland, my family is from the Bronx, and I've been somewhat of a nomad until recently. I wrote a story about my life's circumstances that I believe will resonate with those who are going through a rough time, but also make you laugh the entire way through.
​
One of my goals in life is to step foot inside every Irish Pub in America, so I figured I'd fill you in on that journey throughout the story. I've included articles about each Pub I've entered so far (100 of them). Each article tells you what I thought about the Pub, how they pour their Guinness, and whether or not the place has any Craic. Yes, this book is about Irish Pubs, but there's so much meat and potatoes attached to it. I honestly don't know if you'll believe it all. I guess we'll find out.

Those who are handicapped may also read this book.
"I am by no means out here with the intention to make anyone look bad. People who run Irish Pubs are some of the hardest working people in America. With that being said, that doesn't mean I'm not going to hold you to the same standard as everyone else. If you label yourself as an Irish Pub, you are placing yourself in the same category as The Dead Rabbit and The Erin Rose whether you like it or not.
​​
If you are doing a terrible job, I will notably call you out on it. For one, maybe it'll help you realize something your staff is too scared to address. For seconds, I don't want my fellow Craic Addicts to waste their time and money on something that's not worthy."
Well, where ya gonna go?
I'm going places you can only dream of, Phil, and you have all the money in the world
The place smelled like one big fart wrapped in cabbage
the college crowd will ruin it if you pick the wrong time to quaff a quick one.
