maybe festively you are correct (I barely watch TV), however, I dont think theres any better place to celebrate St. Patricks day than in Boston. Barring Ireland itself of course.

Always wondered why we (The US) celebrated an Irish holiday.

Irish American immigrants brought Saint Patrick's Day to the United States. The first civic and public celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in the 13 colonies took place in Boston, Massachusetts in 1737.[10] The first celebration of Saint Patrick's Day in New York City was held at the Crown and Thistle Tavern in 1756.[11] In 1780, General George Washington, who commanded soldiers of Irish descent in the Continental Army, allowed his troops a holiday on March 17. This event became known as The St. Patrick's Day Encampment of 1780. [12] Today, Saint Patrick's Day is widely celebrated in the United States by Irish and non-Irish alike.
