Go out and get your Irish on.
Welcome to Patch Picks, a weekly feature highlighting editor and reader picks of great local businesses, destinations, services, organizations, ways to spend a day off and more. St. Patrick—who, for the record, wasn't Irish—and his feast day have been embraced by those of us on this side of the Atlantic. The evening of March 17 is usually one to hit the town, and we have some suggestions to help you with your plans. Remember, although anyone can be Irish on St. Patrick's Day, everyone should be responsible. Know your limits, and get a designated driver if necessary. Erin go bragh! • Da Vinci's, Collegeville • Justin's, Skippack • The Trappe Tavern, Trappe • Ringers, Schwenksville • Chap's Taproom and Grill, Jeffersonville
