ON this date in 1756 - St. Patrick's Day was celebrated in New York City for the first time.

The event took place at the Crown and Thistle Tavern.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, Irish by lineage, got in a little trouble w/ the bar owner when they kept going around to the lasses (who all said they were Irish that day) and asked "Would you like a little more Irish in ya today?"

Call them coarse, but ya gotta love these Boyz.
