Did you celebrate St Patrick's Day? If you joined us at Swifty's Pub in Utica on Saturday we may have captured your celebration. Check out our photos, from the green attire to the shot luge, which the ladies seemed to love since it was appletini shooters.
With St. Patrick's Day tomorrow, some of you in the 21 and over crowd may be toasting with an authentic Irish brew. With a name like Greg "Splashin'" McShea, I know a little about Irish beer, and first must say, green beer isn't Irish, it's just yellow beer with food coloring. So what are the top 10 Irish beers?
With St. Patrick's Day this Sunday, we'll be seeing plenty of shamrocks. So what are they and why are they associated with Ireland and St. Pat's Day?
With St. Patricks' Day, Sunday, March 17th, here's another libation to consider...Irish coffee. Of course, this drink is for the 21 and over crowd. Many restaurants offer Irish coffee year round, as an after-dinner drink. So, how do you make an authentic Irish coffee?
If you've never eaten Irish Soda Bread, you're missing a real treat. We have half a loaf left in the Greg "Splashin'" McShea household (that'll be gone tonight). What is Irish Soda Bread?
We all know about St. Patrick's Day (March 17) celebrations, parades, wearin' of the green and all of that but who was this Catholic saint whose name is lent to these different traditions? Was he the patron saint of green beer? Corned beef and cabbage? Shillelaghs? Not quite.
With the real St. Patrick's Day this Sunday, some of you may wish to experience some real Irish fare. Of course, a brew or two may come into play, and one Irish beverage that may be of interest is a beer blend called "Black & Tan".
The chilly temperatures didn't stop, what looked to me like a record breaking crowd, from coming out to see the Utica St Patrick's Day Parade. Were you there? See if we caught a shot of you in our photo gallery.
A number of roads will be closed tomorrow for the St Patrick's Day parade that gets underway at 10am on Genesee Street in Utica. If you're heading out to watch, don't forget to bring a non-perishable food item for the West Side Kitchen.
You've heard Alan Jackson say "Where I come from, it's corn bread and chicken". With a name like McShea, I say, "Where I come from, it's corned beef and cabbage". And with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner, maybe you'd like to try this delicious Irish dish.
You can drink by yourself on St. Patrick's Day (totally not fun) or at a house party (marginally fun) but what about mixing it up with friends and strangers alike at a bar DEDICATED to all things Irish and GREEN? You can go anywhere in and around Utica to celebrate, but here's our Top 7 pubs and bars that you simply MUST visit and knock back a Guinness or two or... !!
Everyone enjoys putting on their best green clothes on March 17th and being Irish for a day. We’ve all heard there was a saint and something to do with snakes in Ireland and now we have parades and drink green beer. But what do we really know about St. Patrick’s Day?
