Happy St. Patrick's Day!
With all the hype and commercialism that surrounds today, it's all too easy for us to lose sight of the true meaning of this holiday: Beer. And let us also remember that we need not confine the spirit of St. Patrick to a single day on the calendar. We can carry it with us in our hearts, throughout all four seasons, and drink to wretched excess every day of the year.

I forgot, this is your first St. Patrick's Day in Hoboken. Boy, are you in for a treat...

I stopped by my old haunt, Hurley's yesterday.
Paul Barbee, the owner said that they would be opening at 8:30 today.
Jesus, I love to drink as much as the next guy but:
a) 8 frigin' .30 a.m.?
b) the parade started on 44th and 5th. Hurley's is on 48th off of 7th - not exactly a waiting area for soon-to-be marchers.
Well, as they say, Barry:
"Beer: it's not just for breakfast anymore."
