 * WHY THE REAL ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARTY IS IN NYC, NOT IRELAND

It’s an Irish hello.

This Thursday, March 17, St. Patrick’s Day will mark the first holiday in two
years that Gothamites will be able to celebrate without COVID restrictions. NYC
dropped mask and vaccine mandates on March 7, with Mayor Adams declaring that
the city was “back.”

Now, revelers are primed to raise an unapologetic pint of green beer and toast
to the city’s return.

“I’m excited to pick up the St. Patricks day plans I left behind March 13,
2020,” Maggie McNeil, 24, a Murray Hill resident and associate at Price
Waterhouse Coopers, told The Post.

Aine McGirr, 26, and Sean Magee, 27, flew from Ireland to celebrate their
homeland’s beloved holiday. McGirr told The Post they are expecting “to be a bit
nuts.”

Danny Andrade, who is based in Queens, is equally enthused: “Green vomit all the
way!!!!” he hyped on Facebook.

Bar and restaurant owners are eager to serve.

“I think the city is ready for a bit of a party now,” said Danny McDonald —
owner of Swift Hibernian Lounge, Ulysses, The Dead Rabbit, Underdog, Harry’s and
The Bar at Moynihan Food Hall — told The Post.

“Everybody is chomping at the bit to feel a bit like old New York,” the
restaurateur from Ireland said.

He remembers the heartbreak when he was forced to close house in 2020 just days
before St. Patrick’s Day, as New York City enforced a coronavirus lockdown and
required bars to shutter their doors.

“We had all the Guinness and Irish whiskey ready,” McDonald lamented.

Some bars held small celebrations in March 2021, but COVID-19 was still
top-of-mind — restricting capacity, limiting bar hours, requiring patrons to
order food and stay seated.

Sean, Bernie and Kevin Reilly are excited to welcome massive and rowdy crowds to
their nine Irish pubs including Sean’s Bar + Kitchen and Reilly’s Plates &
Pours. Brian Zak/NY Post Ciarra, Mary-Kate and Marquerite Hamill hoist pre-St.
Patrick’s pints at at Connolly’s Pub, 121 West 45th Street.Brian Zak/NY Post

This year, St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Thursday, so many of the celebrations
will blast through the weekend.

Ireland native Bernie Reilly and his sons, Sean and Kevin, are ready for their
busiest day of the year and have already changed out several of their beer lines
for the 700 extra kegs of Guinness they ordered for their Midtown bars, which
include Sean’s Bar + Kitchen, Kevin’s Pub, Megan’s Bar + Kitchen, Reilly’s
Plates & Pours, Connolly’s, The Perfect Pint and Merrion Row Hotel & Public
House.

“We’re prepared for massive crowds. People are itching to back to do something.
It seems long overdue,” said Sean, who expects “people to be a bit more rowdy
this year.”

Flashback to March 16, 2020: A final round of ales sit on a table at McSorley’s
Old Ale House, established in 1854 and referred to as NYC’s oldest Irish pub,
was ordered to close at 8 p.m. as part of a city-wide order to close bars and
restaurants in an effort to slow the spread of coronavirus the day before Saint
Patrick’s Day.REUTERS New York City is back in full swing just in time for St.
Patrick’s Day — one of the booziest holidays of the year. Sipa USA via AP

Some Irish hot spots were too excited to contain their excitement and have
already begun their holiday celebrations.

The Wicked Monk in Brooklyn has been honoring the Irish holiday with traditional
Irish music sessions since football season ended in February.

“It feels like we’re going back to normal. Feels like we’re back home,” Megan
Wynne, manager of the venue, told The Post.

“You can smell the corned beef down the street,” Wynne added.

But some New Yorkers aren’t quite ready to celebrate.

“It’s cool to sit back and know St. Patrick’s Day in New York City is going to
go the same way as Santa Con. Tons of drunk people, new Covid variant, lifted
restrictions, etc. Like watching a car crash in slow motion,” Ben Natan, an
actor in New York City, tweeted.

before St. Patrick’s Day in 2020. “It feels like we’re going back to normal.

But many are ready to party. Up in the Bronx, An Béal Bocht Cafe manager Bronagh
Harmon told The Post that celebrations this year will be the first time they
will have live music since the pandemic started.

“This is a big, big coming-back for the city,” said Harmon.

The bar is also ready to welcome back what they’ve billed as the “World’s
Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade,” which stretches a wee 47 steps from one door
of the bar to another. The annual parade usually raises money to feed the
homeless, but, this year, funds will be reallocated to World Central Kitchen to
support Ukrainian refugees.

New York City’s big St. Patrick’s Day Parade is also back on this year after a
two-year hiatus. It’s the oldest and largest parade of its kind in the world,
according to organizers.

Harmon hopes that a return to a normal St. Patrick’s Day celebration will
provide locals with a much needed opportunity to cut loose.

“Forget about your problems for the next three or four days,” she said. “You can
deal with them on Monday.”

Paddy Maguire, who owns Paddy Maguire’s Ale House in Gramercy, had similar
advice.



“Get out there. Go to the parade. Have fun and drop into every bar and make sure
mine is one of them,” said the 62 year old, who opened his namesake bar in 1995.
“But don’t get too drunk — I don’t want you here at the last stop. I want you
here in between.”
