My buddy Sean Murphy from Murph Guide has spent countless hours preparing this document which is the St. Paddy’s Day Bible for drinking, dancing and debauchery. So grab a shamrock, and go!

Did you know that McDonald’s delivers up in Harlem? I found out when a delivery girl erroneously ringed my buzzer of my apartment Saturday morning! Obviously, she had the wrong address, and I directed her to peddle that Egg McMuffin elsewhere. By the way, how lazy do you have to be to have McDonald’s delivered to your home?! The closest one to my apartment is one block away, but you’d have to travel some distance to get a good grocer with fresh fruit and veggies. No wonder obesity is an epidemic here in the United States. France’s Marie Antoinette was rumored to say, “Let them eat cake”; and we Americans “Would you like fries with that shake?” Funny, huh?
I am anxiously waiting to see the Sundance award-winning documentary, SuperSize Me, which will open May 7, 2004.

Thank God it’s over! It has been officially declared that the Uggs boots are so last season. Please stop wearing them! You have been warned by the fashion cops. Spring is on our doorteps, so break out the kitten-heel flipflops or the yoga sneakers. Cool! Washington Square News

Brooklyn, have you heard the news about Halcyon? One of my favorite places to lounge and listen to music is closing in April. They promise to re-open in 2005 into a larger space, but my spot at 227 Smith Street is closing. I am little sad!
According to the email I received from the list-serv, the owners said, “we’re gonna blow the roof off this mutha before we let her go! For the final stretch we’ve lined up some amazing talent… Every night from here to April 1st is going to be something special so we hope you make an effort to roll through and share a last good time on Smith St. After officially closing, between April 2-17, we are throwing a series of blow-out weekend keg parties with all of our stuff cleared out of the space, just like we used to back in the day…”

What’s Next? If you’re looking to get the hell out of Gotham, you can check out the SXSW in Austin, Texas next week. The good music you won’t hear on Clear Channel will be featured at this indie festival. Some of my favorites artists are playing like Stiffed, Andrew Bird and Har Mar Superstar.
The music portion is from March 17 through March 21.
When that adorable John Mayer penned that luscious tune, did he have Tom & Sally’s delicious products in mind? You and your “fun buddy” can get your “Willie Wonka Chocolate Factory” freak on with stuff from this small Vermont business based in the heart of Howard Dean country. Tom & Sally’s Handmade Chocolates has Chocolate Body Powder, Edible Tattoos, Sweet Body Paints and Heart-shaped Belgian Milk Chocolate Thongs. Whew! I am getting a sugar rush just I am typing this posting. Sweet!

I spent Friday at Natchez, which was supposed to be lovely dinner with my friends and their parents who were visiting from Manchester at a new Cajun place in the East Village. Well, after a laborious two-hour wait and having two rounds of watered-down vodka cocktails, we left. Then we stopped by one of old favorites, Supper. It is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. The staff is superb, and the food and wine are divine! We even saw a member of the Strokes hangin’ out with a petite blonde and some other friends.
Supper is located at 156 2nd Street between A&B. Even if there’s a crowd, you can always enjoy a glass of Cupertino at the wine bar next door! The bartender is the best! <a

Ok, I am thinking good karma and abundance will drop in my lap because I am giving “props” to my ex-BoyFriend. He’s a great guy! His scavenger hunt business, Watson Adventures, is being featured in two articles today. There’s a cool article in the Weekend section of the New York Times. Plus, he’s representing L.I. with an article in Newsday. Soon they will be writing about me!
