The last time St. Patrick's Day was on a Friday, Cardinal O'Connor of the Archdiocese of New York gave a dispensation, but Bishop Daily of the Diocese of Brooklyn did not. So depending on which side of the East River you lived, you could either eat meat or not. I haven't decided if I will eat meat or not. It depends on what they serve at dinner tonight.
Just a word of advice, don't wear orange in NYC on St. Patrick's Day. Most people of Irish heritage know what that means, and you can get hurt.
I was taught that the Irish flag is green, white, and gold, not orange.
