Yesterday was one of the more chaotic days of the year in New York, it was St. Patrick's Day. Once the weather starts getting nice the parade season starts. The two that really turn the city upside down are St. Patrick's Day and Puerto Rican Day. The crowds, the revelry, shall we say, and the partying go on from dusk til dawn and then on from there. When I was walking over to the gym at nine the crowds were starting to form, the beers were being popped open and the fun had begun.

KISS ME I’M DRUNK – I MEAN I’M IRISH

Yesterday was one of the more chaotic days of the year in New York, it was St. Patrick’s Day.  Once the weather starts getting nice the parade season starts. The two that really turn the city upside down are St. Patrick’s Day and Puerto Rican Day.  The crowds, the revelry, shall we say, and the partying go on from  dusk til dawn and then on from there.

When I was walking over to the gym at nine the crowds were starting to form, the beers were being popped open and the fun had begun.

By the time we hit the streets at one the day was in full Irish, green,kiss me, pour me another, the families all here, let’s have another, meet me at the pub after the last float mood.

To be fair not all people are drinking and not all Irish drink. I only saw two people passed out on the street. One guy called Rusty, I only know that as one of his friends said, “Oh, don’t worry about ole Rusty he will be up in a minute.”  I had my doubts.

But it is a family day and the kids are out, and the babies are out and it’s just one of those days when it’s easy being green, it’ s just not easy getting around town.

Kiss me I'm Irish. I'm sure many were willing.

 

I just thought they were cute and they were drinking Coke.

 

On the way back from the gym I ran into the two Judges for the parade. That was pretty cool.

 

People come from all over for this. The crowds are intense.

 

My favorite outfit of the day. I'm a sucker for tutus

 

Shamrock headbands that tend to give one that My Favorite Martian look were very popular

 

For all ages.

 

This guy was in bad shape, it was about one fifteen and two friends were holding him up.

 

The iFro Chia Pet Look.

 

On her the whole thing works, the headband, the barrettes, the skin color, the hair. She was adorable

 

The family plaid.

 

A slightly more elegant way to show your Irish.

 

Crate and Barrel got in the spirit.
As did Roger Vivier.

 

Working it.
I like this look, the jeans and the green jacket.

 

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

 

I have many questions about this person, Is it a boy or a girl? If this is a boy do you think he chose this outfit or his mother put him up to it?

 

Taylor kept saying no one wants their photo taken, yet everyone stopped to pose.

 

The family that eats pretzels together stays together - we hope.

 

I love these two - for so many reasons. The lovely side of St. Patrick's Day.
