Did You Miss St. Pat's in Queens?

The two St. Patrick's Day Parades in Queens always go a week or two earlier than the big parade in Manhattan. They were March 3 in the Rockaways and March 4 in Sunnyside/Woodside this year.

Oh, it was a great Saturday in the Rockaways with temperatures in the upper 50s and plenty of sunshine. The crowds came out to cheer on the Irish, and bagpipes and drums played on.

Console yourself. Do some Irish research at a few of the great pubs in Queens. And enjoy the big St. Pat's Day Parade in Manhattan on March 17, 2007.
