At the front of the line for McSorley's.

Anyway, the bar is open. Last we heard there wasn't a line to get in ... and even room to stand inside.

Updated 8:30 a.m.

No lines...

    As much as I mock the fashion of wearing Hunter™ rubber wellies in New York, today would be a good day to wear them when navigating the multiple puke splats on our sidewalks, starting in about an hour.

    My ancestry is 25% Irish and each year I cringe as I see this day re-enforce a terrible stereotype instead of celebrate the great contributions Irish-Americans have made to this country.

    Regardless of the holiday, anyone at a bar at 10am needs to be in rehab.

    "It was only eleven in the morning when the relative calm of East 7th Street was washed away by a cascade of green vomit. Once the puddle’s progenitor, a young man wearing a green foam tophat and a green New York Jets hoodie, was finished staining the asphalt with what looked to be about $18 worth of beer, he threw back his shoulders, eyes watery, and rejoined his friends behind the police barricades. There were many high-fives. Welcome to St. Patrick’s Day’s Ground Zero, a green-streaked Douchebag Christmas."

    @daho "anyone at a bar at 10am needs to be in rehab" I'm not insinuating that you're a fucking moron, you may just be stupid and ignorant. I work the midnight to 8 AM shift. So your 7 PM actually is my 10 AM. You provincial fucking clowns need to get it into your cement heads that NYC is a 24 hour town.
