That's an unforgettable image, Craig. I lived in Manhattan around that time, and some parades you avoided because they bunged up traffic or generally made life inconvenient, but St. Paddy's - that was the day you avoided the block around the Old Town Bar. Or any of the big loft restaurants downtown that attracted the bridge and tunnel crowd. Oh, and kept out of the subways. You didn't want to be stuck underground with large clusters of belligerent or lost drunks. The first would try to pick a fight, and the others would ask directions and lean in very very close..
