A North Belfast man has spoken of his joy at welcoming people from home to his bar in New York
Tom O'Reilly has been living in the city for 23 years after deciding he wanted to travel the world but once he arrived in the Big Apple to visit a friend, he fell in love with the place.
"Anytime I say to my staff, 'make sure to get them a drink on the house, they're from my road' - and this has been going on for years - my staff sometimes say to me 'how big is your road?' Set in a 1920s bank building in New York City, Banc Bar Café serves a wide variety of cocktails and food from around the world.
"I thought I was gonna come out and do this whole big American thing, the American way, I was gonna have an American boyfriend and meet all these American friends. But it didn't happen that way," he told the Irish Star. Tom said running the bar is hard work but worth it. He said the staff is "like a family," with a very tight-knit feel and many staff members being there for years.
