Well, tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day so, our recommendation (for those of you who don't mind going out on a Monday night during lent) -- is to Celebrate it at one of DC's many Irish Pubs. Here's a few to start with:

And, as a brief history reminder, here's the man behind St. Patricks Day.



Saint Patrick was a Christian missionary and is the patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick was born in Roman Britain. He was captured by Irish raiders when he was 16 and then brought to Ireland. He followed in the footsteps of his grandfather and father and entered the church. Eventually he became an missionary in Ireland. His missionary work is what led him to be the patron saint of Ireland.
