St. Patrick's Day Picks

What are you doing for St. Patrick's Day? Tell us and we could spotlight it as one of our Patch Picks.

They say everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, and here on the Irish Riviera, nearly everyone is Irish, at least by osmosis. So what are you doing for St. Patrick's Day? Are you planning to make that classic corned beef and cabbage from scratch? Going to see the Dropkick Murphys? Listening to Irish music? Painting your face with shamrocks and going to a parade? Or is it Guiness, Irish whisky, and green beer? Share your favorite place to go or thing to do for St. Patrick's Day and we could select it as one of our Patch Picks of the week and give you credit for the suggestion. Post your idea in our comments section or email Editor Casey Meserve at casey.meserve@patch.com by Tuesday afternoon.
