Hello, I’m David Hill with New York Habitat.\u00a0 Today we bring you a spontaneous video showing you the sights and sounds of one of New York’s oldest and largest public events, the St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Click above to watch this video: Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in New York from New York Habitat (3:39)<\/em><\/p>\n

The parade is held every year on March 17th<\/strong>.\u00a0 The procession takes place on 5th Avenue, starting at 44th Street and continuing on up to 86th Street.\u00a0 When I say it’s a large event, I’m not joking!\u00a0 It’s the largest St. Patrick’s Day Parade in the world.\u00a0 Every year 2 to 3 million spectators line the sidewalks of 5th Avenue to watch nearly a quarter of a million marchers make their way along this famous stretch of road.\u00a0 Among the marchers you’ll find police officers, fire fighters, war veterans, religious leaders and, of course, plenty of kilt-wearing men with beating drums and bleating bagpipes.<\/p>\n

The parade starts around 11am and finishes around 2 or 3pm.\u00a0 To see it, you can show up early and get lost in the huge crowds below 59th Street.\u00a0 If you’d like to avoid the crowds, head to the end of the parade route at 86th St.\u00a0 There you’ll have an easier time getting a close up view of the marchers as they turn east.\u00a0 Another good spot would be the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art at 5th Avenue and 82nd Street.<\/p>\n

So if you ever get a chance to come to New York in March, make sure you witness this remarkable event.\u00a0 It’s a true New York experience.\u00a0 Of course, speaking of true New York experiences, make sure you rent a vacation rental apartment for your stay in New York<\/a>.\u00a0 New York Habitat has vacation rentals all around 5th Avenue.<\/p>\n

This 1-bedroom\u00a0furnished\u00a0apartment in Midtown East in New York (NY-15461)<\/a> is just a couple minute walk from 5th Avenue.\u00a0 You’ll find hardwood floors, Cable TV and air conditioning.<\/p>\n

We’ve also got this 1-bedroom vacation rental (NY-12330)<\/a> located on the on the 4th floor of a 6 story converted historic warehouse building.\u00a0 It is also in Midtown East in New York.<\/p>\n

You’ll live like a real New Yorker, locking up your apartment door as you make your way to 5th Avenue to lose yourself in the revelries of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
