1. Soda scare: Bloomberg's soda ban was struck down on Monday by the state Surpreme Court, meaning Dunkin' Donuts posted all those signs for naught. What do you think—are you happy to see the infamous Soda Ban nixed, or did you like the idea?

2. Take a walk: Celebrate St. Patty's Day at Green-Wood Cemetery—where else? The Eminent Irish of Green-Wood walking tour takes guests on a fact-filled journey across the cemetery's storied grounds, past the graves of such notable residents as copper magnate Marcus Daly,  India Ink manufacturer and American patriot Charles Higgins and one-armed Civil War General Thomas Sweeney.
