Which pizzeria? There are two famous pizzerias in New Haven.

Let us know how it goes.

St. Patrick was Italian anyway.

Likely Zuppardi’s in West Haven. Or Modern in New Haven. Both of those places are kick ass.

I attended Irish-Catholic mass tonight and lots of people in green.

One guy on the street actually had a McDonald's Shamrock Shake shirt.

And a Happy St. Patrick's day to you from a Woodside bred Irish Catholic. Heres a yarn I posted on subchat of the first and possibly the only time I marched and ever will march in the parade:

This day brings back fuzzy memories of when I marched in the parade under the banner of the long since defunked
Metro-North Emerald Society. Assembling in front of the now extinct Mc Ann's bar & grill on 44th st between Vanderbuilt & Madison, we were beyond ready to march when it was our turn. As it turned out that year (1985) we were the last group to march. As we went up 5th Ave, the crowds were thinning out and The sanitation sweepers were at out heels. When we went by the reviewing stand, they were taking it down!
But we didn't care. We had enough Budweiser and several wee drams of Jamieson's in us to press forward without any remorse.
That was the first and last time the MN Emerald Society marched.
Most of my fellow marchers are now deceised, retired or joined A.A.
It was fun while it lasted. Jack McCarthy would have been proud of us!

Hope you had a fun St. Patrick's Day.

I thought you were from Woodhaven and your sister was a nun.

There is reason to believe St. Patrick's parents were from The Roman Empire. If true, he's Italian and ate a grain-based diet.

If we can figure out what was good and what wasn't for our ancestors, we might all be healthier.

I did not wear green and the priest looked pissed as hell. I just went to light a candle but not attend mass.

Yes, women in particular wear green for attention and to get some douchebag to buy them drinks.

it's an amazing post.

He talks about alcohol.

I believe, from an evolutionary standpoint, that white northern Europe people, consumed more beer than those from the old Roman Empire.

Regardless of origin isn't everyone on the planet capable of consuming alcohol without death?
I can imagine in 1985 they had a grand old time at that parade.

"I thought you were from Woodhaven and your sister was a nun."

In a prior post I said that I was from Woodside then Moved to Woodhaven.
My sister was a nun for 5 years before she kicked the habit (sorry),got her masters, fell in love with a Con-Ed supervisor, married & had 3 kids. Went back to teaching in civilian clothes in the diocese of Rockville Center & is now happily retired although does part time tutoring.
...and is probably watching "The Quiet Man" on DVD right now!

Not if you don't go out.
like I said I think it's remarkable how many folks I see that are not freckle faced redheads or blonde hair blue eyed showing green and shamrocks in the last couple days.

And my St.Paddy's Day story is cooking, cleaning, reading, studying, and showing my kids the yellow submarine in Coney Island from Dreier Offerman Park aka Calvert Vaux because they asked me if it was true that a sub was in Coney Isle.
