Celebrate the upcoming spring season and get out there for Saint Patrick’s Day in the city! From the world’s largest parade to authentic pubs serving up the best Irish brews, everyone can have a fabulous time in the city for the holiday, Irish or not.
To experience the true meaning of Saint Patty’s day in the city, the parade is a must-see. The largest parade marches right up 5th Avenue and generally attracts more than 100,000 participants. If you’d like a smaller celebration, all five boroughs have parades, so there’s certainly more to see.
To learn about the Irish heritage of the city, be sure and book a tour with Big Onion Walking Tours’ Irish New York. Get to know “Little Ireland’ on the Lower East Side and appreciate the impact that Irish immigrants had in making the city what it is today. Carnegie Hall, Radio City Music Hall, and the Irish Arts Center will also be offering themed concerts so you can get your fill of Irish tunes & entertainment.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all our readers!
