What are some things that are helpful to know about the St. Patricks Day Parade? This will be my first year going and I know nothing about it. Thank you in advance!

people in parade walk east from Park/mill to Highland st....so you want to keep your eyes for paraders going in THAT direction
​
if you look the other way, you will only see their backsides, and that would be sad

It gets pretty rough down around Austin to Pleasant Streets, the other end of Park has better viewing.

They’re will be drunk college kids and Irish people. Those groups may overlap.

I used to live on Abbott Street. The snow pile in the back of the Rice Funeral Home parking lot was a popular outdoor bathroom.
One especially snowy winter meant there was a massive snow pile in the back that was especially tall and slippery, and people kept sliding down messy parts on the back of it and getting stuck on the fence, covered in well, you know.

What do you do, just follow them and drink through Park Ave.? Or do people usually watch from bars?

If you follow the parade it never changes. If you are getting bored of the parade, walk in the opposite direction and you will fast forward the parade.

Leitrim's may be open. It might not. Nobody is ever really sure of Leitrim's hours.

Buncha likeminded drunks celebrating the expulsion of non-Christians from Ireland. Don’t wear a mask or you’ll be heckled at best.

Long 3 hours, 1 hour watch then go somewhere else.
