Named after a sprawling patch of greenery in Dublin, Phoenix Park is an UES base for Mets / Jets fans, Hunter College students (my Spanish study group) and white-collar workers. Autographed jerseys cover the walls and a Mr. Met bobble head sits on a liquor shelf. There are at least 15 big-screen TVs. Drinkers crowded out of the bar area can retreat to a brick-walled room with a pool table and fifties-style metal signs. (Beer: Helping ugly people have sex since 1862!) Seating for another two dozen people is offered on the back patio when the weather's right. Phoenix Park’s lunch and dinner menu features a list of bar snacks and appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, soups, wraps, and traditional “Irish Pub Favorites” selections. The beer battered onion rings are on my list of best in the city!

Mmm...it's true, those rings are the best. They vastly improve one's command of the Spanish language.
