From Dave Brigham:
I have driven past Paddy's Lunch, an institution in Cambridge's unimaginatively named Neighborhood Nine area, approximately 1,273 times in my life, but it wasn't until recently that I walked by with a camera and snapped a few pics.
"The oldest family owned pub in Cambridge. Serving cold beer and warm friends since 1934," declares the eatery's web site. Think about that: This place has been around for 88 years, since before World War II and color television and Lou Reed. This definitely seems to be the kind of place where everybody knows your name. Sure, it's not the friendliest looking place from the outside, but Paddy's sponsors local events and surely is doing something right after nearly nine decades.
Again, from the web site: "Paddy’s was started in 1934 by Patrick and Margaret Fennell, immigrants from Ireland. In the 1960s, the Fennell’s daughter Margaret 'Peggy' Fennell Ryan took over the operation with her husband Harry 'Bubby' Ryan. In 1998 Peggy’s daughter, Ruth Ryan Allen, took over and remains the current owner today."
I'm sure there's good craic to be had here.
