It's St. Patrick's Day and hundreds of thousands are expected to watch today's parade in person. If you're not watching the parade from Fifth Avenue, there will be a streaming webcast on NBCNewYork.com (it also airs on WNBC 4). east village idiot noticed how the subway platform displays have been changed up from their usual yellow-and-green to a more March 17-appropriate color palette. Remember: The MTA strictly prohibits alcohol on the system and the cops will be cracking down on potential imbibing revelers at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, Staten Island Ferry Terminals, Grand Central Station, Penn Station, Central Park, and any public street. And share your St. Patrick's Day photographs by emailing them to tips(at)gothamist(dot)com or tagging them "gothamist" on Flickr.
