The most boisterous of the city’s two St. Patrick’s Day parades, the event features a slew of floats, bands, Irish dancers and more. Stepping off at 103rd Street and Western Avenue, the parade heads south on Western to 115th Street. Partiers usually set up camp on the west side of Western (where all the bars are), and families stick to the east side of the street. Be warned: bathrooms are hard to come by.
