Bostonist Remembers: O Danny Boy a Week Ago Edition

It is now a week gone by since St. Patrick’s Day and ye olde Evacuation Day gripped the Hub and spilled from every bar with a little bit of Irish in it (or at least a bit of green in the window). At five days since we stood with Solo in hand atop Telegraph Hill watching the parade, Bostonist has become a little nostalgic for last week - already.We thought it appropriate last week to show how some folks were gearing up for the holiday, today we look to some of the events that took place. It was a hard decision but the feature is of the final minute of the Corned Beef and Cabbage Eating Championship (official by guidelines of the International Federation of Competitive Eating) held last Friday before lunch at Ned Devine’s. If competitive eating isn’t your thing perhaps you would enjoy the runner up for today’s video feature: bagpipes at Doyle’s. Consolation prize goes to Remember the Famine rap – not a solid gold hit for sure. Maybe funny? Offensive or insensitive? Wicked Pissah?
