Being an Irishman from Boston, I was worried about what I was going to do for St. Patrick's day. Luckily LA has been kind enough to offer a little slice of the homeland with the 10th annual St. Patrick's day parade complete with a free concert! The Parade starts at 11:30 at Arcadia and Main in Downtown and runs to Pershing Square where The Young Dubliners (A pretty Kick-ass Irish rock band) will be performing from 12:30 until 2pm. As always with parades there will be food vendors so I'm sure you'll be able to get all the corned beef and cabbage you can handle. There isn't too much more info on the LA Parks website but here's The flyer.
After the parade keep in mind that a lot of Irish bars charge covers as high as $40 where as a 12-pack of Guiness is $13 at Albertsons, just something to consider when planning your evening festivities. And if you're looking for something a little sweeter, Yummy Cupcakes in Burbank and Santa Monica is selling Guiness, Lucky Charms, Chocloate Mint Chip, and Irish Cream Pie cupcakes tomorrow. Their cupcakes are $3 each and worth every penny.
Speaking of... well, everything you just spoke of, I get off work tomorrow at 5pm. At 5:15pm, I'm picking you up to go to the liquor store. Clear your evening.
ReplyDeleteI'm forsaking an evening of reading/reviewing for my website, DailyGenoshan.com (shamelessplugshamelessplug), to be drinking with you.
I went to Yummy Cupcakes and got one of each! Thanks for the tip!
