I had a great time at a very nice irish pub, but I was having such a good time, I forget the name of it.

BBS, that is too funny! I'm sure you not the only one to have experienced that problem!

Probably a little too early to know what will be going on in NY next July, but I'm sure people will keep their eyes open for you! I'm sure there will be a lot of great 4th of July events!

And there are soooo many in NYC. I had my first drink at the Dublin House 3 months after I turned 21

I'll have to ask Dave if he remembers, he can hold his beer much better than me.

I know we went in one Irish pub and it was too small. the one across the street was bigger, and accomodated our group better

I can't tell you the number of times I've forgotten the names of bars I've been in.......

(did I say that out loud too?)

Thanks D&B. That's exactly what I was looking for.

As for everyone else........whatever!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, I am very offended that you would hijack a thread with alcoholic non-sense!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry hello, I was only there one day, the only other thing we did was visit St. Patrick's cathedral. It's beautiful.
I drink very little, but when we travel and are walking I have a couple, hence it doesn't take much. I'm sorry I offended you.
we ate at the doubletree, it was theme based, so they played Grease while we ate. it was also very nice.

When I was in NYC with Andy we discovered this great place called the Irish Rogue. It's on 44th between 8th & 9th. We both ate and had alcohol for $30 (and that includes tip). For NYC that's a pretty good price.

i know that 8 broadway shows did 50% off all tickets for the weekend of the 4th. so keep an eye out for great theatre discounts when it comes closer to then. if you want to see wicked or jersey boys when you are her...buy the tickets now for the best seats.

Hello, are you being serious?

If you are, sorry.

No payment necessary. Just think about the kinds of things you would like to do or see and I will make some suggestions or give you websites.

Born and bred in NYC and here I stay in the city I love.

I think it is a beautiful place. Even though my students all live in NYC, many of them have never been to St. Patrick's. At Christmas time, I take my class to St. Patrick's. Before we go, we learn about flying buttresses, which made the building of catherdrals possible and about windows in a church, pews and such.

St. Pat's at Christmas is adorned with poinsettas in red everywhere you look. The creche is very beautiful and the size of the statues in it are almost life sized. Of course, we go before Christmas and the baby is missing. I always say, where is the baby? Did someone take it? After a few minutes, one of the students will realize that the baby doesn't come until Christmas day. The altar for Mary is covered in white poinsettas and the students love looking under the altar where the crypts of previous cardinals are buried. At one time, you could go down there, but they don't allow it anymore.

After that, we go to Rockerfeller Center to see the tree. It is a requirement that the students bring some change to feed the sidewalk Santas and remember how important it is to share. We usually end up singing carols as we walk over to Sak's Fifth Avenue to see their fabulous animated windows before going back to school. Sometimes, if we have no physically challenged children, we walk up to FAO Schwarz to just look around (NO TOUCHING!) and see what there is to see. We have done it with students in wheelchairs but it is difficult when there is a student with other physical handicaps that keep them from walking far (I don't mention it if this is the case.) New York City is a wonderful place, so much to do and see.

If we do that, we take the subway back to school. It is a wonderful trip that is long remembered by my students and I love to see their faces light up as brightly as the lights on the tree.
