I like them I just hardly ever get them. Here are a few places I know have good food and are known for their Irish pedigree, places I could imagine having great chicken pot pies: Donovan's Pub - Also an awesome burger with fried onions 57-24 Roosevelt Ave., at 58th St. Woodside, Queens Chip Shop - also deep fried candy bars 383 Fifth Ave., at 6th St. Park Slope, Brooklyn Molly's Shebeen - Also great burger 287 Third Avenue at 22nd street Manhattan Tea & Sympathy - British style, more filling than crust 108 Greenwich Street at Jane Street, West Village Playwright Tavern - make sure to dine upstairs 202 W. 49th St., nr. Broadway Manhattan Channel 4 - A cheaper option 58 W. 48th St., nr. Sixth Ave. Manhattan I feel good about all of those places. Definitely get back to me and let me know how it works out. If you're looking for places in more specific areas, let me know. Gilda,
