Brooklyn St. Patrick's Day Parade

Dodge the boozy crowds of Manhattan's Fifth Avenue parade and head to Brooklyn for its street celebration of all things Irish. If your family wants to march (good luck!), assemble at noon at Prospect Park West and 14th Street. Just watching? The parade begins at 15th Street and Prospect Park West, marches down Seventh Ave to Garfield Place, then turns and proceeds along Prospect Park West. All ages.
