Press Release

New York, New York (PRWEB) March 01, 2013 - Get ready for a month of green, both in the gardens, walking around town on St. Patrick’s Day and hopefully a little extra of it in your pockets when you use all of the savings and deals available this month. March is a beautiful time to visit New York City! The weather is still cool and crisp, but not nearly as brutal as the months before, with temperatures usually in the 50’s throughout the month. Flowers begin to bloom, and show up at places like the Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden, or on Easter in NYC! There are tons of things to do in NYC this March, so come for the week, the weekend or even do the day and celebrate the beginning of spring with all of these great New York City events.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade 
New York City has one of the largest St. Patrick’s Day parades in the world, and on Saturday, March 16, 2013, it will be making its way down down Fifth Avenue, starting at 11am on 44th Street. Wear some green, steal some kisses and enjoy mingling with the largest NYC crowd since New Years Eve in Times Square. After the parade, head to one of the St. Patrick’s Day parties at an NYC bar or one of the St. Patty’s Day Bar Crawls. After the party’s over, round out the rest of the trip with one of the tours in NYC, so that you can get some sightseeing in, without having to think to hard about where to go – these tours make hangovers pretty bearable!
