St Patrick’s Day 2009 recap

I had “live tweeted” the journey to McSorley’s on St. Patrick’s day this year. Twitter is great for live publishing, but not so much for showing historical data. Below is a recap of the days tweets:

Sunrise sunset. Ave A Stalin says Donesky

A few notes here.
The bar we went to after McSorley’s was The Village Pour House. They had a decent beer selection, but after McSorley’s, Bud was the only thing I could stomach. The trip to 47th street was to Connolly’s. The place was fairly huge, long bar with tables in the back. There is a statue of Lenin on the roof of a building on Ave. A and Houston St.
Pictures taken with the regular camera can be found here.
