Earlier today, Mary O'Halloran treated her neighbors with free Irish soda bread scones and coffee or tea from her new shop at 93 1/2 E. Seventh St. between Avenue A and First Avenues. 

And her new neighbors turned out in droves to sample the creations that O'Halloran has served from her Avenue A restaurant, Mary O's.

Mary O's Irish Soda Bread Shop will officially open at 7 a.m. this coming Saturday.
