The prime rib is a must but Peachy's favorite is Shrimp Scampi
'Twas the night before St. Patrick's Day, when all through New York
Not a creature was stirring, not a spoon or a fork;
The shamrocks were on lapels on blazers with care,
In hopes that St. Patrick soon would be there;
Una and the children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of rice pudding danced in their heads;
And Fifth Avenue with a green stripe and bagpipes in tune,
All prepared for a celebration that was to happen quite soon
When out on the avenue there arose such a clatter,
Mike O'Bloomberg and Ray Kelly went to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen mist,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects it kissed,
When what to my Irish eyes saw half asleep
But a miniature convertible and eight tiny sheep,
With a little young driver so lively with a shimmy,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Jimmy
More rapid than Irish setters his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Sligo! now, Westmeath! now Wicklow and Cork!
On, Dublin! on, Galway! on, Offaly to New York!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of corned beef and cabbage, and St. Jimmy too—
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down 57th Street St. Jimmy came with a bound.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight—
“Happy St. Patrick's Day to all, and to all a good night!”
Jimmy Neary and Mary O'Connor
We think they turn 29 this year.
There might not be one in Ireland either, because he moved here on November 11, 1954 via the ship Olympia from Cork, Ireland. Jimmy is probably the only person we've worked with that has been knighted by the Pope; in 1983 John Paul II came from Rome to knight Jimmy Neary at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and yes that will make your shrimp scampi taste even better.
We began with the house salad, perfectly chopped lettuce, onion and tomato with dressing on the side of course, and some fabulous wild Irish Smoked Salmon, joined by capers and onions and seedless rye toast. They were a brilliant start and anyone that considers themselves a real New Yorker has not lived until they have been here.
Meeting Jimmy is obviously the best part, but you should indulge in all the culinary endeavors and appreciate the trophies and the pictures.
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we are honored to know Jimmy, who knows everyone worth knowing in New York.
We have been singing his praises since we were aware of Neary's and Jimmy in 2010.
Neary's was last featured a year ago:
You know we pick Neary's and of course it is Highly Recommended!
