Since I was born and raised in Massachusetts, went to school in Boston and have been (rightly or wrongly) accused of being a "Mass-hole", St. Patrick's Day has a very special place in my heart and on my calendar. It's the perfect holiday as it has a "dress up" component like Halloween, a once a year menu option like Thanksgiving, and the drinking/party atmosphere of New Year's Eve.
It is also the perfect holiday to spend the morning watching parades with your family and then head out to catch up with your friends for a good old fashioned pub crawl to end the evening. Here is a list of our favorite places where we can celebrate our local community during the day and then explore our neighborhood's finest (and diviest?) drinking establishments well into the night. Let us know if we missed any, have a very happy St. Patrick's Day and always remember to drink responsibly.
Take your family to the South Boston Parade. It is one of the biggest and most fun St Patrick's Day parades in the country; running from the Broadway T Station and ending up at Andrew's Square
Take your friends on the Brighten Pub Crawl for a Jameson at the Green Briar, a PBR and Fernet at the Brighton Bodega, a Guinness at Porter Belly's and custom cocktails at the Irish Village
Take your family to the Dyeing of the Chicago River. Go to the east side of Michigan Ave for the best view and don't worry, they've been doing this for 40 years and it's perfectly safe for the environment

Take your family to the parade but be sure to check out the Irish festival near City Hall from 10am-5pm that includes Irish music, dancing and a never ending supply of beer
