On the surface, St. Patrick’s Day might seem like it’s all about beer, beer and more (green) beer. But the truth is, you can celebrate this Irish-inspired holiday however you want. If you’re a beer aficionado, this is a great time to have a tasting. If you’re more into a culinary adventure, there are plenty of corned beef sandwiches to go around.
The first St. Patrick’s Day was started by Irish immigrants in America in 1601, and a century later Irish soldiers marched in New York City in honor of St. Patrick. From there, parades continued in major cities like Boston and Chicago, and the celebrations continued over the next 200 years.
