What’s closed: Grove Street is closed from 2 to 11, Market is closed from 11 to 1:30
I’m not Irish, how does this affect me?: If you don’t have to do anything downtown, it doesn’t. But if you do, for god’s sake, take Muni metro (that’s any letter bus but the F).

Suck it, O’Reilly. How you like these San Francisco Values?
