Bringing the Flavor of Ireland to NYC

Located around the corner from Grand Central Station in New York City is a hidden gem called The WheelTapper Pub. Hereâs a trivia question for you... what is a âwheeltapper"?

If youâre thinking this is âjust another Irish Pub,â have we got a surprise for you! I mean, seriously, how many Irish Pubâs have a AAA 5-Diamond Rating?!  If that doesnât do it for you, we can mention that it has close to one million dollars in authentic Irish rail system artifacts scattered throughout the inside and outside areas. The bar was even brought over from Ireland--piece by piece! And donât think everything about this Pub is old-school, it has certainly embraced technology by installing monitors that communicate the train schedules from Grand Central Station, real-time. So if your train is running seven minutes late, you can relax and enjoy that Guinness, instead of slamming it down...

journeyPod enjoyed a traditional Irish breakfast, complete with white and black pudding (I must admit, I didnât know âpuddingâ wasnât pudding--boy was I shocked!) Then journeyPod had a chance to speak with Chef Auggie and found out first hand what the heck a âwheeltapperâ really is...
