What, just cause we're a shopping blog we can't tell you where to wet your whistle after shopping 34th Street on St. Paddy's Day? And you know where you can go to get your St Patrick's Day T-shirts. Please, I'm 100% from the Emerald Isle and that hardly offends me. I'm more offended by the whole concept of holiday T-shirts! Cheers, and enjoy your Guinness tomorrow night!
