No Broadway & St. Patrick's Day Parade in NYC; Boston Marathon Delayed Until September Possibly

With New York Governor Andrew Cuomo now having prohibited gatherings of 500 or more people there will be no Broadway shows and next Tuesday's St. Patrick's Day Parade has also been cancelled.


The Broadway closure comes as it was revealed that an usher had tested positive for the Coronavirus.
The latter isn't so shocking considering that Dublin, Chicago and Boston had already cancelled their festivities.


Boston Mayor Marty Walsh had hoped the Boston Marathon would proceed as scheduled on Patriot's Day next month, but Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker's declaration of a state of emergency yesterday quashed those hopes. Organizers are aiming to hold the century plus old road race in September, possibly on Labor Day. But for now there's nowhere to run.
