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.]

This just might be my new favorite store cat in the East Village

Bobby Williams sent me this photo on Wednesday... it's the liquor store cat on 10th Street and Avenue C...

I never noticed the cat before... in part because it's not my usual liquor store ... Or maybe I have seen the cat but not his or her eyes...

Anyone know the cat? His or her name?

Anyway, from here on out, all cats, all the time.
