The Weekender-St Patrick's Day Edition

Erin Go Bragh All! (Ireland Forever)

This is one of my favorite times of year; probably because I am Irish and John is from County Clare. It just makes it really feel like spring, or that real spring time weather is looming ahead. Whether you are looking to get your Irish on early or you want to be Irish on Monday here's a list of local Irish bars. The * denotes I have actually attempted to drink there on Patty's only to meet a HUGE crowd (I am not a big fan of crowds, but if you are-these might be the places to go)
The Irish Rover* (28th ave @ 38th street)
Dillinger's (30th ave @ 47th street)
McCann's (Ditmars @ 35th st)
Gilbeys* (Broadway @ 32nd)
McLoughlin's (across B-way from Gilbey's)
Blackstone(Broadway @ 38th)
Cronin & Phelan's (2 doors down from Blackstone...where I will be)
Doyle's Corner (Broadway @ 42nd)
