MANHATTAN — Happy Saint Patrick's Day everyone!
And for everyone who may need to drive, beware of some Midtown road closures that'll likely snarl traffic during the annual parade of green.
Basically don't drive anywhere near Midtown if you can avoid it.

Fifth Avenue all the way from 44th Street to 86th Street will be closed off to make way for the parade route, police said Tuesday.
A whole mess of streets around Grand Central Terminal will be cordoned off including:
- Vanderbilt Avenue between 43rd and 46th
- 44th Street and 45th Street between Vanderbilt Avenue and 6th Avenue
- 46th Street, 47th Street and 48th Street between Park Avenue and 6th Avenue
A few other streets will be closed to allow the parade to disperse and just for good measure.
- 80th Street through 85th Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue
- 63rd Street and 64th Street between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue
- Madison Avenue between 63rd Street and 64th Street
Roads will open back up at some point after the parade wraps up at 5 p.m.
