Per the Post:
East Village residents Kevin Golden, 44, and Catherine Talabac, 52, had been planning their big day since March. “McSorley’s is just one of my favorite places. I live two blocks away, and I always gravitate here,” said Talabac. “I asked if they do weddings there and they said no. But when I asked if we could, they said ‘ f – – k yeah.’ ”
“Some girls dream about the Plaza,” she said. “That wasn’t me.”
McSorley's can't serve any beer at the moment. So! "[T]he party moved over to the nearby Copper Still for a drink afterward." (And the dinner party was next door on Seventh Street at Porsena.)
Bartender/McSorley's historian Shane Buggy thought it was the first time a wedding ceremony had taken place inside the 162-year-old bar on Seventh Street.
“We’ve had plenty of proposals, but I can’t ever recall an actual ceremony,” he told the Post.
Great guy! I was in Copper Still on Friday and he was kind enough to share a glass of Yellow Spot with my Brother and I. Congrats Kevin!
