A few spots to grab food and drink along the Wearin’ of the Green Parade route

In the Capital Region, March gets crazy. As if the Carnival parades like Spanish Town and Southdowns aren’t big enough, this year we’ll only have a couple weeks between the Mardi Gras and St. Patrick’s Day revelry. Get ready to swap your pink flamingo decorations for four-leaf clovers and green beads as the city celebrates the Wearin’ of the Green parade. This year, the parade will again be rolling through the Garden District on March 16 at 10 a.m. Here are a few spots along the route to grab a drink or a bite, or listen to live music.
