St. Pat’s Day

St. Pat’s Day

St. Patrick’s day in the city is always a great time.  A parade, a green river, masses of happy people decked out in green… what more could you ask for? Each year, Chicago has a parade and St. Patrick’s Day celebration on the Saturday before the actual holiday.  I’ve had a blast each year, and this year was no exception!

My friends and I started out the day with lunch at Wilde, an Irish restaurant across the street from my apartment. (my neighborhood has the coooolest restaurants, but I’m biased)  I ordered a reuben sandwich which was delicious, and one of my friends ordered Shepherd’s pie, which looked delicious, but I am no where near as adventurous with food as she is.

After we got lunch, we walked around Chicago and eventually made our way to the parade.  It was insanely packed, so we didn’t stay for the entire parade.  We made our way to the river, which was dyed green, and got a picture.  Being the foodies that we are, we later found ourselves at a small Thai restaurant, devouring crab rangoon and pad thai (craving it as I type this…) It was a great St. Patrick’s Day… we made our way to the parade and the river, and the weather cooperated perfectly!
