Everyone’s a little Irish on St. Patrick’s Day and Midtown is full of opportunities to celebrate during one of New York City’s largest and oldest annual events.
The Grand Central neighborhood will, once again, be awash in green on Sunday, March 17, as crowds line the parade route (It steps off at 11 am from Fifth Avenue and 44th Street.) to cheer their Gaelic pride. Here too, there are many a restaurant or pub for paradegoers, and their friends to enjoy themselves pre- or post-parade! Below are a few neighborhood suggestions that may well gift you with the (good!) luck of the Irish!:
