Lucky 7 Picks for Your St. Patrick’s Day Festivities in the Cranford/Westfield Area
St. Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year for this Irish girl! But everyone is a little Irish on March 17th and I’ve rounded up my Lucky 7 Picks for celebrating in the Cranford/Westfield area. Finally, St. Paddy’s falls on a Friday and a weekend when the festivities align with March Madness! “Going Green” takes on another meaning this weekend as you join friends and family at a local pub to “have a gargle”, eat corned beef, and listen to the Bagpipers and live music! Sláinte! Enjoy luck, leprechauns, and local fun!
May the winds of fortune sail you.
May you sail a gentle sea.
May it always be the other guy who says this drink’s on me
