History

Pews, pulpit and gargoyles, by way of Cork

The Wicked Monk came by its name honestly: founder Michael Dorgan furnished it with woodwork, stained glass, a pulpit, pews and gargoyles imported from a monastery in County Cork, Ireland¹. In 2012 Dorgan and his new partners decided it was time for a change¹. The Monk has since moved from Fifth Avenue between 84th and 85th streets to the former Ballybunions spot on Third Avenue between 95th and 96th¹. It's still pouring there, at 9510 Third Avenue, until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, and Tacos Express Mexican Grill now lists the old address, 8415 Fifth Avenue^{2, 3}.
