Manhattan bars report less St. Patrick’s Day business

“During the day there were a few people coming and going but nothing insane.”

In Midtown West, the Three Monkeys bar which celebrated it’s first St. Patrick’s Day last Thursday reported that while there was a good daytime crowd, business picked up more as the night went on.
“There were a lot of regulars in during the day and things got very busy for happy hour,” says Michelle Shanaghy, originally from Cavan.

“However there were not very many Irish and Scottish tourists.”
