New Yorkers, Irish or not will soon transform the streets of Manhattan into a sea of green to pay homage to the patron Saint Patrick, and visitor’s will be swarming to the city to be a part of the festivities. If any New Yorkers would like to join in on the celebrations, CitySights NY has suggested New York’s top ten locations to celebrate St Patrick’s Day like a true Irish!

While atop a CitySights NY iconic double decker bus, arguably the best seat in the house, passengers will pass by (and have the option to stop and check out):

• St Patrick’s Cathedral – St Patrick’s Day is after all a religious holiday so a stop at the Neo-Gothic style Roman church is a must even just to admire the magnificent architecture
• Rockefeller Center (Top Of The Rock) – arguably the best view of the city, see Manhattan come alive in green attire and hear the bagpipes blare
• Fifth Avenue – witness the biggest St Patrick’s Day Parade in the world as marchers provide entertainment down Fifth Avenue
• McSorley’s Old Ale House – St Patty’s Day isn’t complete without a Guinness at New York’s oldest Irish pub just a short stroll from the East Village stop: 1st ave between St Marks Place and 9th Street 
• The Empire State Building –  the iconic landmark that boasts impressive 360 degree views – again a great way to see the city embrace the celebrations
• Central Park – great for the kids, head to the Central Park Conservancy to join in the St Patrick’s Day Craft at the At the Chess & Checkers House
