I've been out of the country for four months. St. Patrick's Day is the perfect time to return to NYC.

Just not a thing italian-americans grew up caring about.
I don't drink much either. If I did have something for the day, it would probably be a Beamish stout. I like that the best of the big 3 Irish stout brands.

There's a VFW about a mile away that does a big SPD thing. So, if I wanted to, we could do the Irish thing in pretty nice fashion.
Yes, we had a nice dinner, but the cost would cause sticker shock for many folks.
Not something we could do weekly.

I may have a pint of Guiness. If we stay home, then a glass of water. My spouse doesn’t like Irish whiskey, and I’m not one to drink alone.
