Street Shamrock in Inwood

Pic of Day: Members of the Ancient Order of Hibernians and community members gathered on St. Patrick's Eve to paint a commemorative shamrock on a street in the upper Manhattan neighborhood of Inwood. The Shamrock committee consisted of Niall Henry and Sean Milliken of Tubby Hook Tavern and James Hamilton and Matthew O'Shea of AOH William B. Burke Division 3 of New York County. The shamrock commemorated the lives of several community members and two fallen NYPD officers. Its stem was painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag. Drone photo courtesy Monica Patten.
