    I knew there was a good reason I bought the super-giant CostCo Jameson.

    Grafton Street, Dublin

    l3m6zntxfega.jpg

    So much more than a shopping street, Grafton Street is alive with buskers, flower-sellers, and performance artists. You will also find countless places to stop off and simply watch the world meander by. Café culture has taken off in the capital, and on a sunny day, you'd be forgiven for thinking you were in Barcelona or Lisbon. True, this is Dublin's shopping heartland, but there's no need to spend a fortune if visiting.

    You'll find friendly, chatty service no matter where you go and be entertained from the bottom of the street to St. Stephen's Green at the top. Grab a coffee or, in the mornings, a legendary Irish breakfast at Bewley's Oriental Café. Take time as well to duck down the numerous alleyways and streets to see what you can discover.

    The Ring of Kerry

    9e7sxre8gsiz.jpg

    If in Kerry, take the time to explore what is arguably Ireland's most scenic route, the Ring of Kerry (Iveragh Peninsula). Of course you can start anywhere along the way, however most set out from either Kenmare or Killarney ending, naturally enough, back in the same spot. The entire journey non-stop could take under three hours, but that's unlikely to happen.

    En-route there's a feast of jaw-dropping Atlantic Ocean views, stunning islands to visit, wild sweeping mountains, and many picturesque villages. This area of astounding natural beauty boasts a range of outdoor pursuits including golf, water sports on pristine beaches, cycling, walking, horse-riding, and terrific freshwater fishing and deep-sea angling. For history enthusiasts, there are Ogham Stones, Iron Age forts, and ancient monasteries, all set against a canvas of striking landscapes.

    I live in Ireland. What do Americans do to celebrate it? Most that visit here tell us its an excuse to drink which is irritating haha.

    Why is that irritating?

    Yes, it's mostly a holiday for drinking. But so are most holidays it seems like. American's also love Cinco De Mayo and celebrate that too, and yes there is a lot of drinking on that day too. I find there is also a lot of drinking on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Let's not forget the 4th of July which is drinking and fireworks. There is also the Superbowl which isn't a holiday but there is a lot of drinking that takes place that day as well. Oh and Halloween.... I think you get my point.

    There's no need to speak to me like I'm some sort of half-wit. I was just asking as there are Americans and other nationalities with Irish relations obviously and I was curious what they actually do to celebrate it other than drinking. It's irritating because alot of people come over here and take the mickey out of our accents and aye they do use it as an excuse for drinking when most don't even have any knowledge or relations to Ireland. I have a right to say whatever I want. It would be like me celebrating the 4th of July or Thanksgiving, pointless as I'm not American.... I think you get my point.

    There are Americans with Irish roots as well.

    Fun fact: St. Patrick (the guy that is celebrated on St. Patrick's Day) wasn't even Irish. It's a Christian holiday that originated in Ireland and was brought to the US by the Irish where they made it the big drinking day that is now here. It still bases back to a Christian Holiday that is spread world wide.

    I was literally asking what they do to celebrate it other than drink. I've mentioned that a few times.

    I wear green so I don't get pinched, speak in my hilariously incorrect Irish accent, and I drink a lot of alcohol that day and generally have a good time.
    Is that good enough?
