MLS Peachy: New York City FC at FC Dallas: Spotlight on Patrick Mullins Our Coverage Sponsored by Martin's Tavern of Georgetown Est. 1933
Established in 1933, Martin's Tavern is one of Washington DC’s most historic family-owned enterprises. For 80 years, Martin’s Tavern has been a renowned fixture in the mid-Atlantic and a must-visit establishment in historic Georgetown. In the late 1890's, William S. Martin traveled from Galway, Ireland to America. Forty years later, he and his son, William G. Martin, the current Billy's grandfather, opened Martin’s Tavern on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and N Street NW which is run today by our friend, William A. Martin Jr. You can call him Billy! From sitting Presidents and media icons, to city residents and worldly travelers, Martin’s Tavern is a welcoming home to the many who have long embraced its warm atmosphere. Its quintessentially classic American fare has delighted discriminating palates for decades from the Oakwood Atlantic Smoked Salmon to the Filet Mignon to whatever your little heart desires from the convincing menu. Every President from Truman to George W. Bush has happily dined at Martin's Tavern, and you can see the delicious culinary choices preferred by each in our review: Martin's Tavern is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know:
The President’s favorite booths, The Proposal Booth of Jack and Jackie Kennedy, Mickey Mantle in The Dugout Room, George W. Bush and family at Table 12 are just a few of the iconic stories. Fourth generation owner Billy Martin, Jr. continues the tradition of Washington’s oldest family owned restaurant and Georgetown landmark.

New York City FC forward Patrick Mullins was thrust into the lineup against FC Dallas on Sept. 12 after captain David Villa had to exit with a hamstring injury.
The second-year striker scored the Club's lone goal in the 2-1 loss to the Western Conference opponent at Toyota Stadium. In the 69th minute, Mullins chipped the ball into the box, but Ned Grabavoy was taken down by Atiba Harris as the official pointed to the spot. Up stepped the 23-year-old Mullins who calmly slotted the ball into the lower right corner to get New York City FC on the board.
It was Mullins' fifth goal of the season and his first since the 4-4 draw with Toronto FC on July 12.
Here is the story of his day in video, statistics, quotes and more.

Mullins said:
"We were dangerous going forward. I always feel that we can score goals. Our effort on both sides of the ball was really good tonight and that will give you a chance to win anywhere in this league."
