Send me Freepmail

Location: Moran's (downtown) in the WTC area 103 Washington St. New York, NY 10006

Map to Moran's

Location is still tentative as we are still negotiating for private room, which they usually don’t open unless it’s a group of 70.

Moran's Homepage

This landmark location, built in 1897, was formally an inn and later became St. George's Chapel during the Depression in 1929. St. George's Chapel catered to the local merchants and residents, which were mostly of Syrian Catholic descent. This area came to be known as "Little Syria." In 1979 the church retired, and the Moran family acquired and converted the site and began operating on December 26, 1986.

You can find the current ping list on my home page and I will update it with all who show interest.

Please freepmail me with any ideas or suggestions so this can be a wonderful gathering. I have been emailing back and forth with Firebrand planning the party and we are going to have a very nice turnout.

Chances are that, somewhere along the way, someone in the Irish family married an Italian. Given that both ethnic groups were significantly discriminated against in the early 20th century ("No Irish/Italians need apply.") and both had a strong Catholic faith, there were many marriages among the Irish and Italian immigrants.

ping--whaddaya say? I'll buy...

[alisasny]

Are you coming? I dont have you marked as coming yet!!!!

[LisaFab]

Just replied via FReepmail. I remember drinking to our military at Moran's on 10/7/01 as the bombs dropped on the Taliban and we basked in the glow of FReeping the peace-niks in Union Square.

A great day and here's hoping 12/28/02 is another.

[Neets]

Being Italrish myself, I'm checking the calender.

[alisasny]

You are Italirish? How so? The only Irish I can claim is that I had two babies with some Irish in them from their fathers side. Since they were inside me, well I now consider myself part Irish :), my husband on the other hand still has zero Italian.

Hope you can make it!

[rmlew]

There goes my diet. I'll have to bring a big belt.

[Pharmboy]

I have to figure out how many we'll be. I will let you know soon.

Thanks, PB.

I'm from New York, and have never actually had a chance to meet with other freepers in any kind of activity, this could be fun.

[NYC GOP Chick]

We have lots to catch up on, don't we? ;)

[NYC GOP Chick]

[hellinahandcart]
