...March 17 marks the day in 1776 when George Washington and his Continental Army drove the British armed forces under General Howe out of Boston. It is for this reason that our great city brims with glee every March 17, with merriments often carrying on into the wee hours of the night. I’m still not sure why these celebrations are centered around Irish pubs and green beer, but whatever. Grab a shot glass and celebrate Washington’s victory with Martin Scorsese’s love letter to Boston, “The Departed...
