Anyone can get drunk on St. Patrick’s Day, but if you swing by One Sixty Glass the weekend prior, you can actually make your own mug.

Sat 15 at 1pm; $35.On this holiday scavenger hunt, treasure seekers race around Manhattan deciphering clues in search of the little bugger’s booty.

Thanks to Larry Craig, America is well-versed in public-toilet dramas. But, Paul Walker’s thriller set in 1950s Dublin really raises the bar (or maybe lowers the plunger). Staged in the Bethesda Fountain restrooms, the two-acter is a visceral tale of revenge gone too far.
