Chicago’s the No. 1 city to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

March 12, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

We are just a few days away from St. Partick’s Day!

That means WalletHup has released its annual ranking of the best cities to celebrate in, and their #1 pick for 2019 is… CHICAGO!
This is the second year in a row being the #1 city to celebrate in, but they aren’t wrong.

The rankings are based on the number of Irish pubs and restaurants per capita to hotel prices and the forecast. So even with our cold weather we still come up number 1.

Here are their top ten cities to celebrate in:

  1. Chicago
  2. Philadelphia
  3. Madison, Wisconsin
  4. Boston
  5. Tampa
  6. Naperville Illinois
  7. New York
  8. Pittsburgh
  9. Rockford, Illinois
  10. Dayton, Ohio

Oklahoma City has the cheapest bees, El Paso is slated to have the best weather, and Pittsburgh has the best access to bars.

But Illinois still has 3 cities in the top ten, we know how to celebrate.
