New Yorkers and visitors are eagerly anticipating the upcoming St. Patrick's Day celebrations, with all eyes on the 264th annual parade in the city, set to take place on Monday at 11 a.m. With over 150,000 marchers expected, the procession will make its way from Fifth Avenue at 44th Street to 79th Street, according to details shared by the New York Post. But traffic will be disrupted and bus service along the route will be suspended, and subway entrances may also be closed, so plan accordingly.

For those not attending in person, the parade will air on WNBC from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., with Cozi TV continuing coverage until 3 p.m., providing a perfect view after a weekend of St. Patrick’s Day festivities, as reported by NBC New York.

For those who enjoy the bar scene, Stone Street in the Financial District offers green Jell-O shots and a whole block of festivities on both Saturday and Monday. For those who prefer to skip the pre-organized bar crawls, an adventure through Midtown and Hell’s Kitchen awaits, with spots like Langan's and the Landmark Tavern serving drinks and a lively atmosphere, as highlighted by the New York Post.

Even for those opting for a dry holiday, there's no shortage of festivities; the Sober St Patrick’s Day event rings in at Church of Our Saviour at 5 p.m. with family-friendly entertainment, meanwhile, 40 Shades of Green at The New York Irish Center presents a marathon of live music and dance on parade day from 3-9 p.m., information courtesy of New York Post.
