All of these sound like so much fun. NY goes all out for St. Patrick's Day.
Thanks for the info! I live in Upstate New York (Syracuse), so this information is very helpful.
A Mexican Irish restaurant? That is a true testament to how inclusive the Irish are when it comes to celebrating their patron saint... or anything else that involves raising a glass.
