I'm not surprised by this list, but I'm proud!
WalletHub has just come out with their list of the Best Cities for St. Patrick’s Day Celebrations, judging 200 of the largest U.S. cities across 17 factors, including Irish pubs and restaurants per capita, weather forecasts, parades and parties, average price of a beer and more.
Unsurprisingly, Boston came in 2nd place! Boston is actually ranked number one for traditions, but comes in 145th for cost and 161st for safety, which is why we didn't come in at number one. I've never celebrated St. Patrick's Day in Chicago, but I know we have one heck of a great time here!

- Boston, MA
