Farrell, Mary
As director of sales at Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Plaza in New York, Mary Farrell gets to travel to Ireland representing Top of the Rock/Rockefeller Center to the all-important Irish market.
“Being of Irish heritage means that I am a people person,” says the fourth generation Irish American, who was born in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
“It means I can walk into a room not knowing a soul and leave with several new friends. It means that I was born the daughter of a storyteller and that I proudly carry on that great Irish tradition. It means that I treasure close family and friends and there is no greater pleasure then to be with them,” says Farrell, a graduate of the hotel/restaurant management program at Middlesex County College in New Jersey.
Farrell’s paternal ancestors came from County Longford, and her maternal ancestors from County Kilkenny. She’ll soon be adding to her Irishness via her Dublin-born fiancé, Adrian P. Carolan.
