Top 10 Spots To Celebrate St. Patrick's Day 2013 In Bucks County

The day has become one of the most festive of all American holidays, packing bars and nightclubs unlike any other day save New Year's Eve or the night before Thanksgiving. Sure, it's a day for all to come together to eat, drink and be merry, but it's also an actual religious holiday with a rich, interesting history. Food, entertainment, and fun are all a part of a great festival, and the Irish Festival has it all. Food is reasonably priced and features Irish and American cuisine catered by Shannon Pub; dishes include traditional Irish bangers, corned beef uk and cabbage, scones, potato chowder, and Irish lamb stew, and the beverages to wash it all down include Guinness, Harp, and Jameson's. Four stages of entertainment will be playing all day, featuring bands like Penny Whiskey, POGEY, Enter The Haggis, and Prodigals, plus dance demonstrations from Rince na Tiarna Dancers, Woodgate Shamrock Dancers, and Clann na Cara Dancers, among others. There will also be vendors selling clothing, books, CDs, ceramics, and glassware.

This year, the Hoboken St. Patrick's Parade will be held on Saturday, March 3, 2007.

Other local bars that will be packed during the St. Patrick's Parade include: the Black Bear, OddFellows, Texas-Arizona, Mile Square, and Buskers. Braising is almost the same as stewing - braising is normally applied to larger or whole cuts of meat slowly cooked in a liquid, whilst stewing is used when referring to cut or smaller pieces cooked (wholly immersed) in a liquid. Notice I didn't say 'boiled' or 'simmered' That's what we call it when you see a visible bubbling of the cooking liquid. In fact braising is best done at a low temperature of around 85 degrees C / 185 degrees C with an almost imperceptible shimmer - not a rolling boil.


Braising refers to this cooking in liquid, so technically you can braise anything. Vegetables, fruit, chicken, fish. Treat Dad to a special dinner at a high-class restaurant.

There was a great choice between healthy nutritious food and treat type items. Food was available 6 times a day and everyone agreed that it was all fabulous. However it was definitely designed more towards children, with options such as nachos, hot dogs, hamburgers, pizzas etc. As far as the adults were concerned there was only one meal of slow cooker slow cooker corned beef and cabbage, vegetables and mustard sauce that could really be classed as "adult type" food. However it didn't matter as there was always lots of salad and vegetables available and all the food was home made and tasty. Find A Pot Of Gold: Why not make a festive pot of gold treat for your guests? Start by buying one medium sized terra cotta pot (still small enough to set on a table) and spray paint it gold. Purchase chocolate gold coins at a local party favor store, and fill the terra cotta pot full of the coins.
