That was the allure of McFaddens, until it became tourist trap for sports bar loving fanboys. I can't imagine a brand of tourism that includes McFadden's. "We have come all the way from Topeka! From Glascow! From Seoul! But our time in New York will be for naught if we don't see McFadden's!" Confusing it with McSorley’s? FWIW, the Citi Field location was part of a sports bar expansion effort that included Philly, Pittsburgh, Nashville, etc. All, except for Pittsburgh shuttered around the time the original, by Grand Central in midtown Manhattan, abruptly closed. Tourist Trap was more along the lines of “oh, its a sports bar trying to be an “authentic Irish Tavern/Gastropub,” and its walking distance from the sports and performance venue arena(s)” Not necessarily in terms of the branding being “must go to this famous noted restaurant/club/bar/etc when in town.”
