The parade features marching bands, bagpipe players, dancers, Irish heritage groups and more.
Irish Pubs
No St. Paddy’s Day would be complete without a pint of Guinness in an Irish pub. Luckily, New York City is home to a wide variety of bars that are sure to be in celebration this St. Patrick’s Day. The Celtic atmosphere at these traditional pubs is sure to make your day a lot more exciting. The An Béal Bocht pub, Gaelic for “the poor mouth,” offers the finest brews and Irish comfort foods on their lengthy menu. Bangers and mash are one of the most popular items on the menu that you may want to give a try. Other NYC pubs include Donovan’s Pub, The Dead Rabbit, Molly’s Pub and Shebeen and more. You may even opt to enjoy a St. Patrick’s Day Pub Crawl through the city, sampling the best green beers along the way. After a day of drinking, don’t forget to take advantage of our car and limousine services so that you don’t have to drive. You can even book a reservation in advance for your convenience.
