\"Welcome

Searching for an authentic St. Patrick\u2019s Day experience that doesn\u2019t require a flight into County Cork? It\u2019s as easy as taking a train to the Woodlawn section of the Bronx and crossing the East 238th Street Bridge into Yonkers. The social hub for one of the last Irish enclaves in the New York metropolitan area<\/strong>, McLean Avenue is your destination for a bona fide Irish meal, a pint, a Bono accent, souvenirs, Celtic music, and a soccer match on the big screen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Afternoons are a laid back affair on McLean, with families taking up back booths and televisions broadcasting soccer, horse races and the occasional golf game. For a food, beer and flat screen combo, head to Katie’s Cottage<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong> (521 Central Park Ave) for sports games every week. Pull up a stool, order some Guinness or Magners and politely engage the locals. Continue to while away the hours and you\u2019ll witness the crowd surge and brighten with the arrival of DJs, live Celtic or classic-rock infused cover bands and karaoke at nightfall.<\/p>\n

\"Irish

Whether you choose to spend St. Patrick\u2019s Day\u2014or any day\u2014on McLean Avenue, it\u2019s an experience worth its weight in leprechaun gold. Just remember to have some cash on you: some of these time-honored establishments won\u2019t accept plastic.<\/p>\n
