The Best Places to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
| March 18, 2019
New York City
The oldest and largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the United States takes place every year in New York City. The parade is actually older than the Declaration of Independence and has attracted upwards of 150,000 participants in recent years. The parade winds its way up Fifth Avenue from 44th Street to 79th Street, and more than two million people pack the sidewalks to watch it go by. All of the bars along Fifth Avenue and the adjoining streets along the route are packed with people, watching the parade broadcast live on NBC. There are plenty of Irish pubs in Midtown and Hell’s Kitchen that happily cater to crowds who tuck into corned beef, colcannon, and sausages washed down with pints of green beer.
