Lynn,
My dad was born and raised on W. 49th Street (born 1922), and I worked for a number of years at the firehouse on 8th Avenue and W. 49th Street, so we both know the neighborhood well. OBriens must have been before my time there, but I did become familiar with an Irish bar or two myself. A colorful neighborhood it was, with a great history to it. I'm gone from their for 13 years now, and the changes there are dramatic. Dad's got some great stories about the old Garden too.
All the best.
