The Irish saint's day is celebrated around the world and New York's large Irish community makes it one of the best places to sup a pint of Guinness and dress in orange, white and green. St Patrick's Day is on March 17th and the New York parade will be kicking off at 11:00 am local time, so those staying in a New York hostel will have plenty of time to head off to the parade. The city has a huge Irish demographic, culture and history as the Big Apple was one of the main entry points for people coming over to the US from the Emerald Isle in the past. Parade revellers will be able to enjoy the Irish parade celebrations until the afternoon of the 17th and could also find plenty of time in the evening to head to a great Irish bar and settle down with another pint of the black stuff. The St Patrick's Day parade travels down the world-famous shopping and culture street Fifth Avenue, which is home to high-end shops such as Armani, Prada, Gucci and Tiffany's as well as department stores such as Macy's and Saks. New York hostel residents can take a stroll down the street to the Guggenheim museum and the New York Metropolitan Museum of Art and soak up a slice of the culture for which the Big Apple is known. At the end of the street is St Patrick's Cathedral, an architectural gem nestled within the heart of the city. To blend in with the crowds at the St Patrick's Day parade, revellers may want to check out of their hostel in New York early and head to a fancy dress store to stock up on gold, green and white clothing, a clover-patterned hat or any other crazy piece of Irish-themed clothing.
