Moriarty Leaves Saloon, Skyscraper Plans Loom Over List Street
New York journalist HAL BOYLE recounts the theatrics around Patrick Moriarty, tavern owner on West List Street near 52nd Street, who sells his bar to relocate as a 35 story building looms. A heavy browed dummy corpse with a 26 cent cigar marks the farewell wake attended by ad men, Rockettes, Radio City staff, writers, and magazine reps. Moriarty vows no juke box or pinball in the new site, stressing drinks only on demand. His wife Ruth aided the venture, transforming the failed den into a clean, welcoming coed restaurant before the move.
