The NY Irish Center Presents 40 SHADES OF GREEN Cabaret

The NY Irish Center, a hub for culture and community enrichment serving diverse constituencies in Long Island City, is bringing back by popular demand its unique Celtic Cabaret, "40 Shades of Green," on St Patrick's Day, Friday March 17.

Chosen by Time Out NY as the #2 Top St Paddy's Day activity in New York, this remarkable cavalcade of local and international performers and personalities runs a continuous six hours from 3pm to 9pm, as the NY Irish Center happily assumes the mantle of official hub of local St. Patrick's Day cultural activity. Tickets go on sale on Friday February 10 at 9am at www.newyorkirishcenter.org Individual tickets are $30, with admission good for the entire 6-hour period. Children under 12 are admitted for free.

The New York Irish Center, 1040 Jackson Avenue in Long Island City, is just seven minutes, and one stop, on the 7 train from Grand Central Station. For more info and queries call 718-482-0909 or e-mail info@NewYorkIrishCenter.org
