Your looking for some lunch and say, ” I want to try something new,” then the Irish Bank is for you. The Irish Bank is outstanding Irish food which is not common in Westchester County. It I located on 230 E Hartsdale Ave, Hartsdale, NY 10530. It is open during these hours of Operation: Sun – Thu: 11:00 am – 2:00 am Fri, Sat: 11:00am – 3:00am.

Their menu is full of delicious appetizers such as Hummus Platter, Mozzarella Sticks, and NY Style Wings. They also have many breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. I personally have only have gone for dinner but I have had many meals there. I have had a delicious  Chicken Quesada with Jack cheese and an order of fries. It was one of the best Quesadillas I have ever had. I have also had Pasta and Ribs. You might say, “I thought it was an Irish restaurant,” well it is Irish and American.

The server was very kind and was very helpful. An example would be one time my younger brother wanted fries and when the waiter brought it out and my brother told my mom he didn’t want the fries in that container he wanted the container my other brother had, and she didn’t want to order a new bucket of fries. My mom signaled to the waiter and she brought out a new container of fries.

Th Irish Bank has a nice atmosphere and is kid friendly. It is not loud and if it is, it’s not to the point of not being able to hear the people you are dining with. It is a bit dark but I and my brother can still play hangman on the napkins, and it is readable. It is on the fancy side but not so fancy. It is very clean and the tables were clean too. The upper and lower levels both have TVs for watching sports like basketball or football.

Overall I think this restaurant is a solid 4.5 and I will definitely go again. I would recommend this to any who want to try something new or just wants a good meal.

I  was finally old enough to go to my first game. My heart was beating as fast as a humming birds out of excitement, I was jumping in my seat annoying everyone I just couldn’t contain myself.

When I saw the huge monstrosity my mouth dropped and I thought the entire world could fit in there. When we sat down my asked if I wanted to sit on her lap but I said no because I was old enough to sit by myself.

As I was waiting for the game to start I was thinking about all the cool things I heard about from my brother like the Cotton Candy man or the people with drinks in buckets on their head, but the best of all the t-shirt cannons.

When I was imagining the t-shirt cannons I was thinking of this huge thing that is bigger than the players.  Sadly I was wrong and I felt my disappointment after my dad pointed to the cannons while they were coming out. Boom Boom  I quickly ducked under my seat scared of the ear splitting noise.

“Are you ok? “ my mom asked. She pulled me out from under the big blue chair I told her I’m afraid of the noise. She rubs my back and I stop being scared. She tells me “Don’t be scare, it’s not going to hurt you. She offers me a cotton candy and I said yes. When she came back I gave her a hug.

This was the day I had realized even though I was old enough to go to a game I still was not old even to be independent.
