Window shopping for the next holiday!
Looking at Ricky's on Third Avenue near East 14th Street.
This looks like a promising item to help class up the day!

And how was your St. Patrick's Day weekend?
[Bobby Williams]
As you may have noticed, it was St. Patrick's Day/Weekend this past, uh, weekend. Most people we talked with talked didn't think the weekend got out of hand as perhaps anticipated. At least by SantaCon standards.
It wasn't incident free, as this photo by the post office on East 11th Street and Fourth Avenue shows...

And we have no idea what happened here on St. Mark's Place. Likely had nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day. But there is a guy with a green shirt standing there!

Casey Rubber Stamps hosts their 7th annual St. Patrick's Night Party tonight
Casey Rubber Stamps on East 11th Street is one of the most unique shops around... and one of my favorite places here.
Tonight, owner John Casey, who moved here from Ireland at age 16, throws his annual St. Patrick's Night Party... No woo, just some local fun...

Here's a little more on the shop via WNYC...
The walls of his narrow shop — which doubles as his workshop — on 11th Street in Manhattan are lined with myriad stamps ranging from whales to peas-in-a-pod, spider webs, shells, guns, teeth, the Manhattan skyline and even that most fearsome creature: the bed bug. About half his business comes from selling pre-made stamps that range from $3 to $15. The other half is custom designs that customers request or bring in.
Rubber stamping is a simple technology that dates back about 150 years — and to judge from the operation at this tiny store, it really hasn't changed that much.
At 9:12 a.m., there were 7 people waiting for McSorley's to open
The other two people were across the street having a cigarette. Anyway, I expected more people by now.
The bar opens today at noon.

A more traditional St. Patrick's Day celebration at St. Brigid's this morning
What times does McSorley's open on St. Patrick's Day?
Noon. Because someone asked.
And today they opened at 8 a.m. No line. At 8:45 anyway.
And not all that boisterous inside...
...and the McSorley's bus idles outside to take people to the St. Patrick's Day today...
And no — the driver doesn't take requests to drive people out to the middle of nowhere and leave them.
[And yes on that headline.]

Everything's gone green
Everyone is getting in on the act — even Nicoletta. Second Avenue and East 10th Street... Photo by EVG contributor William Klayer.
And the whole ad...
If you don't like 3 days of St. Patrick's Day pub crawls, then move to...
As you may have heard, St. Patrick's Day is Sunday. (Or, apparently, St. Paddy's Day.) Which, of course, can only mean three days of pub crawls at participating East Village bars, as the sign in the window there above at Village Pourhouse shows...
How bad will it be? What will do you do?
Anyway,

Breaking: Kmart reminds us of the drunken revelry to come in two months
Two months out from St. Patrick's Day, and Kmart on Astor Place is ready for the action with this nifty display of cliches... noted, warily, by EVG regular William Klayer...

A more civil St. Patrick's Day-related celebration in Tompkins Square Park
Bagad Plougastell, who have been in town for the St. Patrick's Day Parade and gig with the Chieftains, performed this afternoon in Tompkins Square Park. The musicians-dancers are from the Celtic nation of Brittany....

How was your St. Patrick's Day?
All in all yesterday was pretty fun. (Too bad St. Patrick's Day doesn't always fall on a Saturday!) In case you missed it, several neighborhood bars had drink specials. And keeping the budget-minded in mind, bars also offered free entertainment and keep-sake souvenirs. It was a little reminiscent of Bourbon Street in New Orleans, except without the humidity and ugly architecture. (If we want to look at old French buildings, we'll simply travel to the country of French and see the real thing.)
Did it get a little loud at times? Sure! But it was St. Patrick's Day! It's fun! Or are you so old that you don't remember what fun is? Anyway, New York City is loud! It always has been. If you don't like it, then move to New Mexico or someplace where it's not loud and be with the other smelly hippies.

Seventh Street and Avenue A. Sums up the day pretty well.
Thanks to EV Grieve reader Chris F. for the photo.
