The annual green beer delivery in late February helps put Coleman's Authentic Irish Pub in Syracuse on the map. Be nice when the new Irish Pub opens in Utica. The building so far looks fantastic When I was in studies in Rochester some of us would always head to Coleman's for St. Patty's Day. Always a lot of fun. Their corned beef and cabbage is always fantastic.

Green Beer Sunday tradition still going strong in 2018 Updated 3:03 PM; Posted 3:03 PM SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Revelers in green descended upon Tipperary Hill for Green Beer Sunday, an annual block party which kicks off the season of festivities leading up to St. Patrick's Day. Light rain, wind and chilly weather didn't deter hundreds of people from crowding around "the smallest parade in Syracuse," a 20-minute trek from Syracuse's green-over-red traffic light to Coleman's Irish Pub. Syracuse Mayor Ben Walsh, this year's grand marshal, led the parade with his family. Past grand marshals have included other politicians, radio DJs, Tipp Hill bar owners and a pastor of the nearby St. Patrick's Catholic Church. Irish step dancers, bagpipers and business owners followed the Walshes, along with a tanker truck draped in the Irish flag's colors. It contains, allegedly, green beer "imported from the Emerald Isle." After the parade, Walsh and his wife, Lindsay, accepted foamy pints of green beer from Coleman's longtime owner Peter Coleman. Miss Green Beer Blaithin Loughran took selfies with people in the crowd. "Everyone's Irish from now until St. Patrick's Day," said Mary Dougherty of Westvale. She has attended Green Beer Sunday for 50 years. Dougherty's father, Kenny Davis, was one of the original stone throwers, a group of Irish boys in the 1920s who, as legend has it, kept smashing the lights in the traffic signal until the city broke down and put the green over the red. www.syracuse.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2018/02/green_beer_sunday_1.html#incart_river_home
