Ireland
Happy St. Patty’s Day everyone! It’s Monday, which is not an optimal time to to get your bar hop on, but there are a great deal of weekday-friendly things you can do to celebrate, like copping those awaited shamrock shakes and, of course, all that Irish music you’ve been saving to complement your well-coordinated green swag.
Here are our staff picks for all things Irish, including a couple of drinking songs and other St. Patrick’s Day goodies.
