Description
Shanley's Restaurants were fine dining restaurants that operated from 1890 to 1925 in New York City. The first restaurant was located at 23rd Street and 6th Avenue and was owned by Thomas J. Shanley, Bernard F. Shanley, Patrick J. Shanley and four other Shanley brothers. This location was a hub for celebrities such as John and Ethel Barrymore, Teddy Roosevelt, Harry Houdini, David Belasco, Richard Mansfield, "Diamond Jim" Brady and Lillian Russell. After a lawsuit against the owners that resulted in financial ruin the last Shanley's closed in 1925.
