I'm sure LucyKKG could tell us if they still do.
I actually have no idea. I know where that is, but I don't think I've ever eaten there. I should check it out next year.

Yep, they do indeed dye the river green. The city officials then call the Paseo del Rio the River Shannon for the weekend and they'll have the annual St. Patrick's day river parade on Sunday. We went on the pub crawl one year, but this year I think we're going to stick to playing at Hoolihans.

I've never had Strongbow before--would love to try it.:)

We spent last St. Patrick's Day in Savannah. It was a lot of fun, including lots of drinks!

Someday I want to go to Jackson, Mississippi for the Sweet Potato Queens fun and frivolity!

One of my friends is a Sweet Potato Queen - she has shared some stories and pictures from the St. Paddy's Day Parade/Million Queen March festivities - it's something she looks forward to every year. I was hoping we could go together this year but she had to cancel...maybe next year!

Happy St. Patricks Day-2009!http://clicksmilies.com/s1106/feiert...smiley-013.gif

Unfortunatly it is raining like crazy in Kansas City where the Second larest Parade is located in The USA and one of the OLDEST Irish resturants in the USA, Browns, Resturant and Deli!:cool:

Thanks for the movie suggestions! I have not seen Boondock Saints so I'll put that one in the netflix queue. I have not seen the Commitments for awhile, laughed my head off..I'd forgotten all the parts where Jimmy is interviewing himself!

Tonight, we're off to the local pub to celebrate with the specialty: corned beef tacos. I know it sounds gross, but they are really good: shredded corned beef with cabbage and a white sauce(similar to fish tacos) in tortillas. Yum!

FYI though Kansas City might make the top 10 it is no where near the second largest in the US.

Don't know about San Antonio....

But they dye the Chicago River green every year :)....going to watch was a family tradition for my dad's good old "Chicago Irish Catholic" family.

Raising a pint for the descendents of Chicago Furlongs and Callahans!

Really?

And who is # 2? Chicago, not any more!:cool::D They were.

NY is # 1 of course.

Oh, we are talking about Parades, not dumping dye in rivers!:)

New York is number one in the world.

Savannah Georgia or Holyoake Mass. depending on who's counting. Looks like Mass to me based on the numbers they provided.

As I said, KC MIGHT be in the top ten, it's certainly in the top twenty, but don't make silly claims.
