There are so many great restaurants in the Northport area, but there are also some great ones outside of our community! If you are going to Manhattan this fall or winter, Connolly’s Pub and Restaurant is a great place to dine. Both of the locations (121 West 45th Street and 14 East 47th Street) are in the heart of Midtown Manhattan and are located near many tourist attractions. Connolly’s is a great restaurant if you are visiting the city, especially if you are in Northport High School’s CITIES class.
Menu:
Connolly’s is centered around an Irish atmosphere, but you can still get food that is traditionally American. There are many options for hamburgers. I recommend ordering the All-American Bacon Cheese with a side of fries if you want something traditionally American, or the Gaelic Burger if you want to try something traditionally Irish. For appetizers, there are many options, but I recommend ordering the Warm Soft Baked Pretzel Sticks. They are delicious! Connolly’s also has a choice of salads and chicken as well.
Pricing:
This restaurant can be a bit expensive, but compared to other restaurants in the city, it is relatively reasonable. Most of the items on the menu are in the price range of $15.00 – $30.00, with the exception of the steaks, which cost a little bit more.
Speed:
The speed of the service is very good. Connolly’s on 45th Street has four floors, which means there are many tables throughout the restaurant. While the first floor is crowded, the upper floors are not as loud and less crowded. The speed of the staff is typical for a restaurant. Every time I have dined at the restaurant, the food is ready within a reasonable timeframe.
Overall Experience:
I have gone to Connolly’s a few times when I was in the city, and I have always had a wonderful experience. I love the fact that the restaurant has multiple floors, and a multitude of options in terms of seating. As you go up to different floors, the stairwells are very interesting and the decor is in line with traditional pub-style restaurants.
Since it is located in Midtown Manhattan, it is also a very convenient place to go if you are sightseeing. It is close to Times Square and Rockefeller Center, making it a well-suited location for those looking for typical tourist attractions. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Manhattan.
