Other non-Irish clubs and restaurants are throwing St. Patrick’s celebrations so look around for your favorite spot. Remember there is great public transportation around town, so don’t drink and drive (nor ride your bike as you may be fined.)

Kiss me, I’m Irish! Well, not really, but does it count if my husband is? Happy Saint Paddy’s!
