Dublin your fun all over the city with a pub party right after the St. Patrick’s Day Parade
After you’ve marched — or stumbled — up Fifth Avenue from Midtown to 86th Street in the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, you’ll find plenty to do to keep your Irish eyes smiling. Whether it’s bagpipes, leprechauns or getting fluthered (that’s drunk in Dublinese), New Yorkers looking to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day have the luck of the Irish on their side. Gather your shamrock-covered friends and check out any of these spirited events.
BELLY UP TO THE GUINNESS: Paddy Reilly’s (519 Second Ave.; 212-686-1210, paddyreillysmusicbar.us)
The self-proclaimed world’s first and only all-draft Guinness bar — all eight of the bar’s taps serve the Irish beer — draws people from all over, says manager Steve Duggan. “People come from Connecticut, Long Island, The Bronx to get a good pint of Guinness, because it’s hard to get a good pint of Guinness anywhere.” But there’s more than stout beer here. Beginning at 1 p.m., three Irish bands — Irish Trad Session, Beware of the Pig and the Mickey Finns — will play into the wee hours.
Ditch the boiled corned beef-and-cabbage dishes that every other New York eatery will be serving and try the R Lounge’s fresh take. Senior sous chef Stephen Christensen will serve a Reuben flatbread with corned beef, Gruyere, sauerkraut and Russian aioli ($12), along with a red cabbage and potato soup ($10). Not a green-beer person? How about the Green Lady ($12), a mix of Leblon Cachaca, Midori, sour mix, pineapple juice and sage.
IRISH FUN FOR ALL AGES: Go Burger (1448 Second Ave.; 212-988-9822)

IRISH FUN FOR ALL AGES: Go Burger (1448 Second Ave.; 212-988-9822)
For a Celtic twist, this usually family-friendly eatery is serving a boozy “Kiss Me I’m Irish” shake ($12): Guinness, Baileys and Jameson mixed with vanilla and coffee ice cream, whipped cream, Shamrock sprinkles and a green Shamrock cookie. “It is just killer,” says general manager Chris Romano. Nonalcoholic versions swap in green pistachio ice cream for the kiddies. Go Burger will also slather Irish cheddar, sauerkraut and corned beef on top of its signature sandwich (ground beef, melted cheese and onions between rye bread slices) in its “St. Patty Melt” ($14).
BANGERS AND (GREEN) BEER: Whiskey Park (100 Central Park South; 212-307-9222)
Instead of offering the usual nachos and wings, this sports bar turned to Todd English’s Food Hall to create traditional Irish comfort food. “We’ve got beer bangers [$14], which sound like a lot of fun,” says Vinny Mauriello, managing partner for owner Gerber Group. They also have shaved corned beef sandwiches ($14), corned beef brisket ($24) and chocolate stout curly cake ($7), as well as Jameson drink specials ($9) and green draft beer ($6). Maybe you’ll catch an impromptu performance by the NYPD Pipes and Drums when they stop by after the parade. Plus, there will be multiple T-shirt giveaways throughout the day.
*The Chieftains featuring Paddy Moloney (Carnegie Hall, 881 Seventh Ave.; 212-247-7800, carnegiehall.com; tickets start at $29; 8 p.m.): Celebrating their 50th anniversary, Ireland’s official music ambassadors, who have performed at the hallowed hall on St. Pat’s Day more than a dozen times, will perform traditional Irish music.
*IRISH FEST (Webster Hall, 125 E. 11th St.; 212-353-1600, nycirishfest.com; $20 and up; noon): Festivities include two Irish bands, a bagpiper troupe, leprechauns (or people dressed as leprechauns), Irish fare, a variety of beers and the Ireland-versus-England rugby match on TV.
*ST. PATRICK’S DAY SOIREE WITH JOE HURLEY (Joe’s Pub, 425 Lafayette St.;212-539-8778, joespub.com; $20; 11:30 p.m.): The singer-songwriter presents “My Wild Irish Roses,” with special guests including Michael Cerveris, Laura Cantrell and Ellen Foley. They’ll perform “Irish ballads, singalongs and rabble rousers.” In other words, a lot of cool covers
