Patch Picks: St. Patrick's Day

Easton Patch now runs a weekly feature called Patch Picks, highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off,  and more. 

You’ll find useful lists to help you, your family, friends, and significant others find the best places for everything from Sunday brunch to various celebrations, pumpkin patches, date night destinations, florists, girlfriend nights out, kids party places, parks and more.

Today, we have a very special edition of Patch Picks. On a day where everyone feels Irish, there needs to be some Irish things to do. In this area, there is certainly no shortage. Here, in no particular order, are some places to celebrate the big day.

A no brainer, here.
