O'Casey's Restaurant and Irish Pub

We hoofed it around midtown for the rest of the morning (on Friday), and after walking by Bryant Park and the library, we saw the sign for O'Casey's and figured it would be a great place for us to grab some lunch.
Not sure what the A means. Probably their ranking, judging by the food.
The manager greeted us at the door and got us seated right away. The staff was all very friendly, and it was pretty cool that the three people we interacted with all had very distinct Irish accents. Talk about an authentic Irish pub.
My fiance ordered an oven toasted rueben and I ordered the Gaelic burger (with Irish bacon,onion and cheddar cheese). The rueben was very good, but similar to most other good ruebens you'll find. The Gaelic burger was excellent. The meat was very juicy and cooked perfect (I always order medium rare), and that is what really stood out. Also grabbed a Leffe Blonde to quench our thirst.

Complimentary rolls-Pretty dense, and not quite my thing.

Overall, O'Casey's was a perfect spot for our lunch. There were definately a lot of business people in for lunch, so they are doing something right. The food was good, and the staff was really friendly (somewhat unique for NYC, based on some other general encounters), and the prices were reasonable.
