Readers' Choice: Celebrating St. Paddy's in Bethwood

Saturday marks St. Patrick’s Day 2012, and many of us will celebrate by heading to parades, catching up with friends, enjoying Irish music and dancing and celebrating with our neighbors through church-organized and other community events.

Those of us planning to head out likely have our “go-to” spots, so for this week’s Bethwood Patch Readers’ Choice contest we’re asking for your recommendations, whether you plan on eating, drinking or something else entirely. 

What’s your favorite place to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

What makes it special? Why do you enjoy it?

As with each Readers’ Choice contest, Patch will factor in a combination of poll votes, along with comments and business reviews, in determining winners.

Below you’ll find a starter list that we’re asking you to help us to flesh out—as well as a poll whose choices we’ll update as we get feedback from you. The polls are open until Friday, Feb. 16 at 9 a.m. The winner will be announced at noon that day. 

Please tell us in the comment thread which places are missing from the list and why they're the best — we'll add them to the poll and create a new Patch Places listing for them. If you own or operate an establishment of any kind that doesn't appear as a Patch Places listing on Bethwood Patchh, email me at anthony.karge@patch.com. If you do see your business listed and want to , by all means go for it and let me know if you have any questions (also consider becoming a small business blogger on Bethwood Patch)
