Best U.S. city on St. Patrick's Day?
 

I just wanted an excuse to say Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I never go out on St. Pat's. Too many drinkers, too much green vomit.

Chicago?

Boston ?

I've heard Savannah is fun...anyone actually been there on St. Patty's? Chicago is, indeed, fun!

Not being Irish, I've stopped the wearin' of the green and the consumption of the green beer. Still, Happy St. Paddy's Day to all!

And I think Boston and NYC might give Chicago a run for the "Best US city on SPD", Alice. It sure as hell isn't Long Beach, CA....

Butch McGuires in chicago. Best SPD partys.

Butte, Montana

I'm amused by the comments about green beer. What in the world does that have to with being Irish or St. Patrick's Day? No self-respecting Irishman would ever indulge in something as silly and disgusting as green beer.

I had my corned beef and cabbage with a pint of Harp today at a very authentic British pub (sorry, not Irish) in Naples, Florida. Saturday I'll be marching in the Naples St. Patrick's Day parade (OK, so it's a little late.)

BOSTON!

I was in Dublin several years ago for St Paddy's day and people there said Chicago was the place to be. This was the first year they dyed the Liffey river green, something they copied from Chicago actually.

I've also heard that Savannah has a huge St. Paddy's Day.

went to Savannah 2x for St. Paddys Day-great parade-great riverfront party- make hotel reserv. a year in advance. Well worth it.

New York is crazy today. I vote for Boston.

I think it's obvious. After all of the stats we have read here it has to be San Jose.

Definitely Chicago. It must be fun to see the Chicago River in green.

Another vote for Boston

My husband's in Chicago on business and I'm stuck here with the kids. :(

I lived in Savannah for 4 years so spent 4 St Patricks Days there, and lived in the midst of the celebrations to boot. Our first year there our son's college spring break fell during that period and he came back from Texas for it. I remember so well his critique of the festivities: "It's the first time I've ever seen adults drunker than the kids in the dorm on a Saturday night!" So...if that's what fun is about, then it's an absolutely fab time!

Personally I have to say Denver. 10 years ago today I met my husband at a place called Duffys. Neither one of intended to be there, so it's one of those "meant-to-be" kind of things.

Anybody ever been to Duffys? It's practically older than Denver and is considered a "Denver Institution".

Happy St. Patty's everyone!

Every year except for this year, my gay boyfriend and I have traveled the country looking for the best St. Patricks Party.

So far we have done Savannah, Chicago, New York City, and Boston.

They were each fun, wild, crazy and different in their own way. The year we were in Savannah, St. Patricks Day fell on Saturday. The year we were in Chicago, the not Irish Irish parade had President Bush as Grand Marshall.

My point is, if you have a chance to celebrate in any of the above cities, go for it.
