St. Patrick's Day Parade Returns to the Big Apple After Two Years Off

before we go hand in New york city ST Patrick's Day parade returned in full green glory today. That after a two year hiatus because of the pandemic, more than 100 50,000 people were in attendance. The parade kicked off at about 11 a.m. Eastern time marchers started on 44th Street and Fifth Avenue. That went all the way up to Fifth Avenue in East 79th street. So quite a walk, believe it or not, it's actually been 260 years since new Yorkers began marching to honor the irish Saint and mayor eric Adams got in on the action as well. He raised the irish flag on Wednesday with ST Patrick's Day Parade officials at Bowling Green Park. That in honor of the first irish immigrants who arrived here in New york city. Now a lot of people obviously gonna be drinking a lot of booze here even though by the way it is not the best weather, it is raining here in new york, it's very dreary out there. But did you know, 13 million pints of Guinness are consumed today only that it's 100 and 819% more than what tomorrow is when nobody drinks as much Guinness. So shameless plug. Now Piaggio owns Guinness and they're actually gonna be on closing bell today for an in person interview. I talked to the CFO this week, we went to an event and they actually told me that and they said Saint Patrick's Day around the world. Even in africa, for example, Guinness is their highest selling beer. I mean it makes sense, especially on a day like today, which isn't, and by the way, new york city, who has been holed up for two years, hasn't been able to celebrate new york city rain or not, people are gonna go wild today, you know, they're just gonna lose it.
