Some Bloomsday happenings in the New York area were scheduled for last Friday, June 15, to stay within the working week. But the event hosted by Ulysses bar on Stone Street in Lower Manhattan was among those that stuck with the actual day, June 16. And it was rewarded with excellent weather and a large, enthusiast crowd packing the cobble-stoned space. Best-selling novelist Colum McCann helped emcee the now annual event and Irish Echo writers Larry Kirwan and Maura Mulligan were among those who read extracts from “Ulysses.” But the highlight, as always, was Aedin Moloney’s interpretation of Molly Bloom’s soliloquy.
