If you’re feeling lucky, why not head out on the town to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in style? Across New Jersey and New York, there will be hundreds of Irish-soaked parades sure to pique your Gaelic interests. Once the parades die down, bars and pubs across the city will be decked out in orange and green gear, and nothing beats heading to a traditional Irish pub (or three) on this holiday. Why fight the crowds when you could have a private driver to handle your point to point transportation?
Driving is sure to be difficult, several areas of New Jersey and New York will have roadblocks in place for parades and block parties, so you’ll want to secure a safe and professional driver who knows the streets and can help you hop the bars all night long.
Who’s St. Patrick and Where Did This Green Beer Come from?
St. Patrick’s Day, or the Feast of St. Patrick, is held on the death date of its namesake, Ireland’s foremost patron saint. The official holiday is March 17, although depending on where this day falls in the work week, St. Patrick fans could be celebrating before and after the 17th all over New Jersey and New York.
It’s customary to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in New Jersey – and many other parts of the world – decked out in an excess of green clothing, accessories and of course, shamrocks. The shamrock we are all familiar with carries a symbolic story that dates back centuries as a reflection of the “Holy Trinity,” and is rumored to have aided St. Patrick in his evangelical journey. The green theme comes from Irish Mythology, wherein a boy was bitten by a snake, and Moses cures him with his staff but leaves behind a green mark as a reminder of the incident. With this experience and the green mark, the boy leads his people to a land free from snakes and death.
Alongside these historic symbols of the holiday often appears a green-colored beer. What it lacks in historical relevance, green beer makes up for in its unique look! American papers from the early 1900s attribute this patriotic concoction to a local U.S. spot – First Avenue Bar – who served the green brew to its customers in honor of the great Irish state.
