When we planned our girls' getaway, we didn't think about it being St. Patrick's Day in New York City. (We also didn't know there would be an NCAA basketball tournament in town.) You really can't get a more festive atmosphere than St. Patrick's Day and its parade in NYC.
The parade was fun, with lots of police, soldiers, and marching bands. The whole city was decked out in green, along with Irish flags. The streets were very crowded. The partying (and by partying I mean chugging beer) got started around 9am, and continued til around that time the next morning. It was a pretty crazy atmosphere, and there were many times we thought someone was going to throw up on us. Yuck...I finished up that era about 20 years ago!
Anyway, the parade was really interesting. That afternoon we went to
Serendipity to eat and then to the new
play about Ann Richards.
