Irish pride is on full display today as the St. Patrick's Day Parade returns to NYC. JohnBDias caught up with crowds along the route:
"I'm 100% Irish," one man said."My name is Padraig, which is the Galleon Irish version."
Knowing quite well New York's parade is the oldest and largest St. Patrick's Day Parade in the world, they've always wanted to come and we're happy to share the day with everyone. "Being Irish is a state of mind," the man added."Being friendly, being welcoming to everyone all over the world."Gov. Kathy Hochul attended St. Patrick's Cathedral for the annual St. Patrick's Day mass. Mayor Eric Adams was also out celebrating the holiday, raising a glass at a local Irish pub.
No one is ready to celebrate more than the owners of these pubs. They were some of the first small businesses to feel the pain of the pandemic when they were forced to close just before the holiday in 2020. "It's good to have people coming back, showing the world the city is coming back to life and everybody's getting back to normalcy. We need it," said Ardell Reilly, manager of Connolly's.for a list of street closures and traffic advisories
