A North Belfast man has spoken of his joy at welcoming people from home to his bar in New York.
Tom O'Reilly has been living in the city for 23 years after deciding he wanted to travel the world but once he arrived in the Big Apple to visit a friend, he fell in love with the place.
Now he runs Banc Bar Café, located in the Murray Hill area of Manhattan, and while it isn't a traditional Irish pub it still has a pull for people from here, which Tom loves.
