Ahhh St. Paddy’s day in NYC… nothing like it. The NYPD were out and about, on various corners this morning, preparing for the days “festivities”. As a NYC regular, I see the barricades and think “How am I going to get across 5th ave. at lunch time?”. My iPod is shuffling The Pogues as I debate venturing out later tonight to McSorley’s… where the vomit absorbing sawdust has a very special meaning on this day of the year.
