Wednesday Pub Night #116 - 7:30pm at Ye Olde Tripple Inn

Back to the Pub Night home page

PubNight tonight heads to the Theater District/Midtown West, and will be a bit earlier than usual. We will arrive at 7:30 at:

• Ye Olde Tripple Inn
• 263 W 54th St
• (Between 8th Ave and Broadway)
• New York, NY 10019
• (212) 245-9849

Sidewalk.com describes it as a "Fairly rockin' joint: pitchers and good food." I would say that it's a good local pub with respectable pub food.

Today's history:

• 1914 - Euclid Avenue and East 105th Street in Cleveland, Ohio became the first intersection in the country to be equipped with an electric traffic light.
• 1962 - Actress, Marilyn Monroe, died from a drug overdose on this night in Los Angeles, in a case that is still unsolved and involves a lot of speculation.

More importantly, Birthdays include:

• 1946 - Loni Anderson (actress: WKRP in Cincinnati, The Jayne Mansfield Story, Easy Street, Necessity, Nurses)
• 1946 - Jimmy Webb (Grammy Award-winning songwriter: Up, Up and Away [1967]; MacArthur Park, By the Time I Get to Phoenix, Wichita Lineman, Galveston)
• 1956 - Maureen McCormick (actress: A Very Brady Christmas, The Brady Bunch)

Come have a beer. Maybe a burger. And discuss whether Mr. Carlson had any control over the station, who left the cake out in the rain, and past Presidents of the Davy Jones fan club.
