It’s St. Patrick’s Day, so we’re either enjoying a green bagel from the Bagel Hole on Seventh Avenue in Park Slope or getting two-for-one drinks at Water Street Restaurant in DUMBO. But if we know Mike Coughlin, he’s piping away in Manhattan with the Clann Eireann Pipe Band.
On Sunday, of course, he’ll be in Bay Ridge for the borough’s second and final St. Patrick’s Day parade. Celebrants should start gathering at noon in front of (well isn’t this appropriate?) St. Patrick’s Church on the corner of 95th Street and Fourth Avenue. The parade will snake its way up Fourth Avenue to Fifth Avenue, then down 59th Street, ending at the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, on the corner of 59th Street and Sixth Avenue. For a great place to watch the procession, go to the grandstand on 75th Street and Fifth Avenue.
