Two Massachusetts brothers have built a fleet of tiny Irish pubs on wheels. They tow the miniature bars to backyards, weddings and neighborhood parties across New England. The business began during the pandemic when brothers from Reading started building an authentic-looking pub in a driveway. Now the Wee Irish Pubs travel from March through December, serving as the centerpiece of St. Patrick’s celebrations, bachelor parties and family gatherings. Inside, church pews, antique decorations and a bar made from an 1864 piano recreate the feel of a traditional Irish pub. For many hosts, the tiny bars offer a place for neighbors, friends and family to gather and celebrate together.

Spring gets its official start Friday in the Northern Hemisphere with the arrival of the vernal equinox. But what does that mean? The Earth’s axis is tilted at an angle as it travels around the sun. On the equinox, the Earth’s tilt is neither toward nor away from the sun, so both hemispheres get the same amount of sunlight. This means day and night last about the same amount of time. It also marks the start of a new season. Days will get a little longer every day in the Northern Hemisphere until the solstice in June.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have accused the author of a new book on Britain's royal family of pushing conspiracy instead of facts. On Saturday, the couple issued a sharp statement saying author Tom Bower “crossed the line from criticism to fixation.” The Times of London published extracts from his book on Friday. The extracts alleged that Queen Camilla once claimed Meghan “brainwashed” Harry, and that Prince William and Catherine saw Meghan as a threat. Harry and Meghan point to past comments from Bower about “obliterating” them. The book also included passages critical of the couple's charity work and the Invictus Games.

Chanel and producer Charles Finch host a star-packed pre-Oscar dinner at the Polo Lounge, mixing Hollywood buzz with a pitch for supporting filmmakers. On Saturday night, guests crowd the patio at the Beverly Hills Hotel and mingle over drinks. Jessie Buckley says the smaller red carpet feels intimate ahead of the Oscars on Sunday. Co-director Maggie Kang hypes the big “Golden” performance tied to “KPop Demon Hunters.” The night also doubles as a reminder of Chanel’s long link to movies. Kristen Stewart points to the brand’s backing of her work and other independent projects.

Airline ticket prices are starting to climb as carriers respond to rising jet fuel costs tied to the war in Iran. Cathay Pacific, Air France-KLM and a handful of other carriers already have raised their fares or added fuel surcharges. United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has warned that higher ticket prices will “probably start quickly.” Experts say it’s not a question of if airfares rise, but when and by how much — especially on long-haul international routes. The security director of a global risk management company advises travelers to book early, set fare alerts and use frequent flyer miles or credit card points instead of holding out for a perfect deal.

The downfall of the world's top chef has raised questions about whether time is up for the storied bullying and abuse of fine dining kitchens. Danish chef Rene Redzepi, the founder of Noma in Copenhagen, resigned this week after The New York Times reported that dozens of his former employees say he abused them. The report came just before Noma opened an expensive pop-up in Los Angeles. Celebrity chefs bullying subordinates is a well-known and well-studied feature of fine dining kitchens for over a century. Experts say that restaurants are unlikely to self-police and make broad reforms on the scale of the entertainment industry after #MeToo exposed sexual assault in that industry.

Thousands of snow geese touch down at a Pennsylvania reservoir each spring, turning sunrise into a loud, swirling liftoff that draws big crowds. A few dozen birdwatchers gather before dawn at the Middle Creek wildlife preserve to catch the moment. After sunrise, the flock suddenly rises from the water's surface, circles and then heads to nearby fields to feed. The state Game Commission says Middle Creek has hosted huge groups of 100,000 or more in recent years. Scientists warn that the geese have grown so abundant that their numbers have damaged breeding grounds in the Canadian Arctic. There are also concerns about avian influenza.
