Call In Sick Tomorrow

 

             It’s St. Paddy’s Day

 

    The only place to be on St. Patrick’s Day in Chicago is Division Street

 

By Megan McKinney

 

Not just Division Street, but the one supergreen block between State and Dearborn Streets: Butch McGuire’s, Mother’s, The Lodge Tavern, She-nannigan’s, Hopsmith, you know the turf.  You’ll probably be there all weekend, but that’s no reason to miss the big day itself.  They cleared the street for today’s Shamrock and Roll festival in front of The Lodge—live music, bagpipers, Irish dancers, beer and booze tents. You’ll may be out there soon. But you’ll want to return to the Division Street strip on Monday—and indoors to celebrate on the real March 17.

The Lodge Tavern all day long 

 

Hopsmith Tavern

 

They’re waiting for us.

 

It will take all day to enjoy that block alone.

 

 

And it is ALL Green.

 

Why go anywhere else ?

 

There is still She-nannigan’s.

 

And Mother’s.
