Peter McManus Cafe, Chelsea

Peter McManus Cafe is a family-owned Irish 🍀 bar in Chelsea which was established in 1936 and is the oldest bar in the City which has been in continuous ownership by the same family (now being run by fourth-generation owner Justin McManus). Yesterday, we visited @mcmanusnyc
to see its historic 1936 interior & to watch their annual Sunday stickball event. The cafe provided the free beer, hot dogs and ribs and 19th Street provided the stadium as teams battled it out playing what has been called New York City's quintessential street game.
Storefront photo from 2009 and full interview with third-generation owner James McManus Jr. appears in our book, "Store Front II-A History Preserved".
To watch our visit to Peter McManus please visit our JamesandKarla YouTube channel, see direct link below & in bio and IG story.
