Gallagher's Steakhouse is a steakhouse restaurant at 228 West 52nd Street in the Theater District in Manhattan, New York City.[1] It was founded in November 1927[2] by Helen Gallagher, a former Ziegfeld girl, and wife of Edward Gallagher (1873–1929),[3] and Jack Solomon, a colorful gambler with a large loyal following from the sporting element. These were the days of Prohibition and Gallagher's was one of the first speakeasy gathering places for gamblers, sports figures, and stars of Broadway. There is now a location in the New York-New York Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.[2]
The restaurant is next door to the Alvin (now Neil Simon) Theatre, which opened a few days afterward.[4]
