Hello and welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World.

It's probably my favorite happy hour of the year because it's the Friday before St. Patrick's Day,

which is it truly is an international holiday that should be celebrated

in all of its forms, not just with corn, beef, cabbage, and red potatoes, as we make traditionally

every year in our household, but also with parades and celebrating all the delightful Irish people

who are in our lives. So for years, there was an institution

that shared a block with Fox News called Langans that was so frequently tippled by Fox News folks

that it was lovingly referred to as Studio L.

And a few years ago, Langen's closed down and my heart broke into a thousand pieces

because it was one of those wonderful, familiar, great Irish pubs where like cheers, you would go in

and you got to know people there, the bartenders and the wait staff and the

owners. And so it was heartbreaking to see Langen's go away. But like the first buds and tulips

of spring, Langen's has pushed through and has reopened on 47th Street. So if you are in New York,

if you're visiting, if you live here,

and you're close to the Diamond District because you're going to pop the question or you're a

block away from Times Square, you have to go find your way to Langans because the place is

immaculate. They are in a slightly different spot, just, you know, on the exact same block.

And you can go there and probably see some of your favorite Fox News friends.

So, having said that, the owner of Langans, joins me in studio.

Des O'Brien, welcome to Kennedy Saves the World.

Thank you, Kennedy, for having me look forward to them the conversation.

How did you guys come back?
