St. Patrick’s Day in NYC: Where to Go & How to Get There

St. Patrick’s Day in New York City is one of the biggest and most exciting celebrations of the year. From the legendary parade to lively Irish pubs and cultural events, the city comes alive with festive energy. However, with large crowds, busy streets, and crowded parking, navigating the city can be overwhelming. That’s where we step in, offering our special occasion limo service to make your experience flawless.

The Iconic NYC St. Patrick’s Day Parade

The New York City St. Patrick’s Day Parade is the heart of the celebration, taking place in Manhattan on the 17th of March. It is the oldest and largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the world, with over 150,000 participants and millions of spectators lining Fifth Avenue. The parade starts at 44th Street and Fifth Avenue and continues north to 79th Street, passing historic landmarks like St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

Arriving early is essential for getting a good spot, but driving into Manhattan on this day can be a nightmare. Streets are closed, traffic is heavy, and parking is nearly impossible. Choosing our special occasion transportation means you won’t have to worry about any of that. Our chauffeurs will drop you off close to the parade route and be ready to pick you up when you’re done, allowing you to focus on the celebration instead of logistics.

Irish Pubs & Live Music

After the parade, the celebration continues at New York’s best Irish pubs. Whether you prefer an authentic pub experience or a lively bar with live music, the city has something for everyone.

The Dead Rabbit

Regularly ranked as one of the best bars in the world, The Dead Rabbit is known for its craft cocktails, traditional Irish fare, and energetic atmosphere. With a mix of live music and expertly made drinks, it’s a great spot to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

McSorley’s Old Ale House

One of the oldest bars in New York City, McSorley’s has been serving ale since the mid-1800s. This no-frills Irish pub is a classic spot to grab a beer and soak in the history.

Molly’s Pub & Shebeen

With its sawdust-covered floors, cozy fireplace, and authentic Irish menu, Molly’s is a favorite among those looking for a traditional pub experience.

Getting from one spot to another can be difficult with the holiday crowds, but with our car service, we make bar-hopping smooth and easy. Our chauffeurs provide a reliable and comfortable way to move between venues.

St. Patrick’s Day Cruises on the Hudson

For a unique way to celebrate, several companies offer St. Patrick’s Day cruises along the Hudson River. These cruises feature live music, Irish-themed drinks, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline. Options range from all-inclusive packages with open bars to family-friendly sailings with Irish dancing and traditional music.

With departure times varying throughout the day, arriving on time is key. Our special occasion transportation ensures a worry-free trip to the terminal, allowing you to relax and enjoy the experience without rushing.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral: A Cultural and Spiritual Stop

For those who want to experience the holiday beyond the festivities, St. Patrick’s Cathedral offers a peaceful retreat. This stunning neo-Gothic church, a cornerstone of New York’s Irish heritage, welcomes visitors to explore its breathtaking architecture and attend special St. Patrick’s Day services.

If you’re planning a visit after the parade, let us handle the drive. Instead of battling traffic, you can enjoy the historic beauty of the cathedral and take in the significance of the day.

Irish Arts Center St. Patrick’s Open Day

The Irish Arts Center hosts an annual St. Patrick’s Open Day, offering a day of Irish music, dance, and cultural activities. This family-friendly event is perfect for those who want to celebrate Irish heritage beyond the bars and parade.

With performances, workshops, and storytelling, the Irish Arts Center provides a more relaxed way to enjoy St. Patrick’s Day. Given its location on the far west side of Manhattan, transportation can be challenging. With our services, you can avoid long walks and transit delays, arriving comfortably and on time.
