Guinan's just a memory

Owners reject new café at former Guinan's

By Barbara Livingston Nackman
The Journal News • September 23, 2008

GARRISON - Visions of a new café-bar at the former Guinan's Country Store and Pub were dashed this weekend when a property-owner group said it wants offices and housing instead.

Garrison Station Plaza expects to replace the former Guinan's with something totally different.

Mary Ellen Yannitelli, 42, a lifelong Garrison resident who knew and helped the Guinans run their family enterprise, had submitted plans for a café selling homestyle foods, drinks and convenience items at 7 Garrison Landing overlooking the Hudson River. Her plan was rejected, with the Station Plaza board citing liability concerns as the reason.

Instead, board members are considering proposals from two "well-established local businesses" for offices and a rental apartment, President Delmar Karlen said.

"We took everything seriously and I personally read every single comment we received. The decision was not made lightly. In this tough economy, it was a difficult decision," Karlen said.

Yannitelli said she was "crushed" by it.

"It is such a slap in the face to the community," she said, referring to the widespread support she had received. She said she would consider not serving alcohol but was not given a chance to speak directly with the board.

For nearly 50 years, Guinan's had been a popular early morning deli and late-night watering hole. The family patriarch, Jim Guinan, closed the store in January and moved to Florida. Once a month, Irish music was performed in the pub. There are many fond memories of gatherings as well as a Web site and bestselling book dedicated to it.
