I visited the most Irish town In America and learned a lot. The most Irish town in America is a small town in the Bronx called Woodlawn. America has over 30 million people reporting Irish ancestry which makes up nearly 10% of the population. In this video I explored Woodlawn, met the local “Irish” people and experienced all the culture an Irish town in America can offer. Irish people in America goes all the way back to The Famine but what is it like current day. This small town of Woodlawn is less than an hour away from Manhattan in NYC which makes it even crazier. With streets like Katonah and McClean, pubs like Ned Devine’s and Rory Dolan’s Woodlawn definitely has a different feeling to it, whether that’s “Irish” or not is the question.
