Green with Irish


It's St. Patrick's Day and the streets are packed. Walking home I enjoyed a chuckle seeing throngs of people migrating to the English pub in the financial district. Confused? No - the Irish pubs were all so full that police were manning the fronts.


Fun SF fact:

Watching the history channel this evening we learned that the Buena Vista restaurant down the street is the #1 whiskey restaurant in the US selling nearly 2,000 Irish coffees ... daily. Yes, daily. In a tourist city I guess every day is a weekend day. It doesn't hurt that the Buena Vista is at the tail end of the trolley line and parked near Ghirardelli Square.
