I only walked past here and never been inside but glad I saw it while exploring this beautiful city of NYC. It's a historical society centre devoted to Irish American history. There's a library inside, wheelchair friendly and recognisable from the street. It's an educational and cultural centre and it's their headquarters in Manhattan. Worth exploring.

Walking past yesterday I was so disappointed at the deplorable state of both flags hanging outside especially our Irish one .It is obviously old,discoloured and frayed ragged at the end!.Disgraceful and disrespectful. Shame on the society.With a building worth multiple millions it's a pity that a few dollars wasn't spent on the flag you're supposed to be proud of and the reason for your existence as a society.

I went on a tour today and was amazed at how many historic Irish artifacts that they had on the premises.Our tour guide was conducted by Sara which I found her very knowledgeable and gracious.I really enjoyed our day at the Irish Historical Society and look forward to returning for future events.

What a gem this is. Exhibitions well organised with stunning content and informative descriptions. The Tiffany lamps are beautiful. I joined a tour with a very knowledgeable guide who gave a good overview so that I could go back and look again at my leisure. The films are well worth a look. Not to be missed!

Irish language lectures

I was just there today, I was very happy to see it is better than ever. It is my go to after work place with friends, and where I bring family when they are in town for good food, drinks and a great warm atmosphere.
