Pardon me, but is Cornichon the only one put off by the cheesiness of so many phony celebrations? Or should we be thrilled to live in a land where we have monthly cultural festivals: Mardi Gras, St. Patrick's Day, Cinco de Mayo, Gay Pride, Bastille Day, to be shared by all ethnicities and enjoyed by all persuasions? Irish music at pubs like Kell's and Fado makes sense, but what's the excuse for the $2 green beer at Contour? Shameless, shameless.
