In this episode of Uptown Voices Led and Octavio are joined by David Hunt, co-owner of Coogan’s to remember his friend and business partner, Peter Walsh. To know Peter Walsh was to love Peter Walsh. Since 1985, Coogan’s was a Washington Heights institution that welcomed one and all and Peter was the soul, spirit and beating heart of that place. Peter personified the very essence of Coogan’s. Peter Walsh passed away in April, but he will be fondly remembered by anyone fortunate enough to have met him.
Join us in this touching and surprisingly fun remembrance of Peter as David recounts some amazing stories about the bar that became a haven for Washington Heights: Coogan’s, and the man who personified it: Peter Walsh.
