The only Bloomsday celebration outside NYC we've attended was in Dublin in 2016, which, as you can imagine, was pretty much all over their central core. We have been to a literary event at Shakespeare & Co. -- many years ago when we were in Paris for about a week. Yeah, it was pretty primitive, but it was on a cool night.

We had the arrangements made to be there this year, but so much for that idea. I hope that by 2022 it will be safe to fly and maybe we can celebrate the genius of James Joyce once more.

My wife and I live in Austin, but we have made many trips to Manhattan (in the "before the plague time") and I knew that O'Hara was referencing the Sherman statue. But I had no idea where the Mayflower Shoppe was. I'll bet O'Hara would have gotten a chuckle out of knowing that the Apple Store is now in that location.
