Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Hope everyone has a happy St. Patrick's Day!

My husband and I will probably have one or two of these tonight:

And here's where I've blogged about the Irish Hunger Memorial down near Battery Park.
And I'm currently reading a great novel by Irish author Tana French called The Likeness. It's sort of a stand alone sequel to In the Woods. LOVED that book. And I don't know about you, but from all the great reviews I've been reading, I NEED to read Galway Bay.

Check out NYPL's article Beyond Shamrocks for other interesting St. Patrick's Day stuff.

And just because, here's a video of one of my favorite bands, The Pogues. Enjoy!
