If you’re looking for places to party, we hope you’ve considered the Dallas St. Patrick’s Day Parade. From there, where you end up might depend on how far you wander down Greenville Avenue. Or you could hatch a plan to select a bar (with drink specials aplenty) and make it your hangout. And if Saturday won’t be your big day, there are plenty of ways to feel the luck of the Irish Friday through Monday.
