St. Patrick's Cathedral, Various Perspectives.

St. Patrick's Cathedral, By Way of Saks
With St. Patty's Day now upon us, thought it appropriate to share some views of St. Patrick's Cathedral.  Taken from across the street in front of Saks (left).  And more below.

Because, we are all Irish on St. Patty's Day (right?) I am getting into the spirit of things and look forward to attending the St. Patrick's Day Parade tomorrow. First time.  If you are too, following is some useful information from the parade website for your parade viewing planning process after the break.  Whatever you're doing on St. Patty's Day tomorrow, may the luck of the Irish be with you...


THE BEST VIEWING SPOTS
To avoid the crowds that pack the sidewalks below 59th Street, go anywhere North of 66th Street and Fifth Avenue.

The upper steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art provide a great view.

You can get a close-up view of the marchers at 86th Street where the Parade route ends and the marchers disband and embark to go home or to celebrate




Also, Very Important: Public drinking of alcohol is strictly forbidden during the parade. Anyone found drinking can be ticketed and arrested, and police will confiscate all alcoholic beverages.
