Many thanks for all the info on the Old Bridge Tavern and especially Marty Fogarty’s imput. I went to St. John’s School with Marty’s Mom and knew of his Dad and some of his Dad’s friends. Went to a luncheon a few years ago that Marty’s Mom organized and saw quite a few Alum from St. John’s School.

Does anyone have any info about the Old Bridge Tavern that was on the north east corner of 230th Street and Kingsbridge Ave.. I was torn down to make room for the playgrounds for the Manhattan Apartments?

Quick question–I saw the name Ahnemann and Younkheere in the above note from the Building Department and wanted to ask if there was a Lumber Yard on Bailey Avenue by that same name.
Great article and fond memories…. As a side note I can remember the crowds that would gather for Confession at St. Johns and people would shy away from getting on line for Monsignor Scanlon as he was tough but my friends and myself knew that Fr. Flaratty had a hearing aid in one ear so we would get on the line for his bad ear. I think there were probably 7 Priest hearing confession in those days–changes happen.
Thanks for all the info on the Old Bridge Tavern and yes the Playground for the Marble Hill Houses is located there. I can remember going to the Basketball courts there and having to give your keys or wallet to the Parkie as collateral in order to use one of the Basketballs. Great memories…
