EV Grieve had photographs of the line outside McSorley's right before 9 a.m. on this fine St. Patrick's Day—and there was a Leprechaun bus, too! Expect to see lines outside the legendary East Village establishment all day.
Anyway, Minnie the McSorley's Cat posted a photo of "morning beers" and this video (below) on her Facebook page. Sadly, Minnie won't be around, due to The Man.
Enjoy the day—you can play "Everyone's Irish" bingo as well!
