A slice of Ireland in the Gaslamp Quarter
BY: GASLAMP QUARTER ASSOCIATION.
Picture it… It’s February 21st, 1998, in the Gaslamp Quarter, and a 440ft container is parked on 5th avenue unloading during Superbowl Sunday. Well, what was on that 440ft container? A slice of Ireland- the floor, bar and all the bric-a-brac were shipped from Ireland. Yes, nothing better than that…Authenticity at its finest at the finest city in America.
