How are you celebrating Saint Patrick’s Day? On Tuesday, March 17, the Irish and not-so-Irish among us will mark this holiday with delicious food, spectacular parades and good company. Who says the celebration has to be only one day? We've been eyeing our favorite pubs and making plans for a multi-day tour of corned beef, boiled cabbage, bangers and mash, lamb stew and green beer. The death of St. Pat, a Christian missionary, has been celebrated in the U.S. since 1737 with parades in Boston, MA.
