Coronavirus: Barley House Offers Free St. Patrick's Day Pick-Up

THORNWOOD, NY — Fully stocked, and prepared for what is usually a very busy week, the folks at the Barley House in Thornwood thought overnight about what to do now that restaurants in New York are restricted to delivery and pick-up service.

So for St. Patrick’s Day they are offering free takeout meals to those in need from 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. (or until they run out.)

"About five minutes after they announced that all bars and restaurants needed to close, we took a look at our inventory," said proprietor Bobby Harris. "We already had all the food cooked and prepped."

People are welcome to come in and grab a meal to go.

"We're lucky enough we had a few of our staff people volunteer to come in," Harris said. "We've made some deliveries.

"A lot of people are worried about when the next paycheck is coming," he said. "We figured — bag it up give it away, help people."

They've made up special take-out orders already, he said. "We had a couple of vegetarians so we sent them away with salads, and some few who don't eat meat so we gave them salmon."

The Barley House is located at 665 Commerce St. in Thornwood and the phone number is 914-495-3333.
