As it turns out, no one can pull the perfect pint (which isn't surprising - that black shtuff looks fayrce watery...) NONE of them let it settle even for a little bit. That aside a winner was crowned and was presented with side of corned beef - because Irish people are mad for corned beef.
While several parades took place across the United States of America (where everyone has a bit of Irish in them) with style, flair and pizazz, we wonder what Americans would think if they saw a proper Paddy's Day parade in Ireland. Let's take Galway by way of example.
No doubt they would be touched by a native nod to how the Irish built New York...
